This will accurately outline plant pests of regulatory significance and actions taken when these pests are detected in the state while offsetting some of the increased expense to maintain service to the public.

SUMMARY:

This amendment is to update the nursery stock classification, revise reference materials titles and revision dates, provide an update to quarantined pests of limited distribution in Florida, remove fumigation services no longer provided, and to revise the fee structure to minimally impact the industry stakeholders.
