Summary

The bill adds new rules that stop any online platform from accepting payment for a noxious weed that will be delivered to a California address. The Department of Food and Agriculture can issue notices and levy fines, or recover remediation costs, unless the marketplace shows it has reasonable controls to block such sales. It aims to protect the state’s agriculture and natural areas from invasive plant species.
