Summary

AB 230 keeps the state’s Pierce’s disease and glassy‑winged sharpshooter program active for another five years and adds requirements for matching funds, local work plans, and annual reporting. It also sets up a referendum process that can end the program if growers do not approve it. The bill affects grape growers, processors, county agencies, and the Department of Food and Agriculture.
