§ 29200

Amended by Stats. 2022, Ch. 683, Sec. 16. (AB 719) Effective January 1, 2023.

The Legislature finds that in order to ensure the vitality of the apiary industry, to protect the welfare of the people of the State of California, as well as agricultural crops dependent upon bees for pollination, a pest inspection program should be an integral part of the regulatory scheme contained in this division. The Legislature further finds that without a continuing regular inspection program, including continued training for inspectors or commissioners in apiculture with curriculum approved by the secretary, as further specified in this article, the programs and requirements of law set forth in this division will be impaired.
