Invasive pests: lists.

Summary

The bill amends the Food and Agricultural Code so the state’s Department of Food and Agriculture must create and maintain a list of invasive pests that could enter California and may need detection, exclusion, eradication, control, or management. The department must publish this list on its website, providing clearer information for officials and the public. This transparency helps the state prepare for and respond to potential pest threats.
