§ 12042 Agricultural Pest Control Committee

This law creates a pest‑control advisory group that the state secretary or director puts together, and it must include members from many different pest‑control related groups.

Key Takeaways

•A committee is set up by the secretary or director.
•It must have 13 members, each representing a specific group (farm advisers, pest‑control businesses, gardeners, pilots, dealers, certified applicators, registrants, state agriculture board, UC agriculture experts, state university trustees, community college trustees, producers, and the public).
•The rule has been in effect since Jan. 1 2005.
