Section 80-10-20-.01 - Determination Of Problem And Establishment Of Quarantine
Current through Register Vol. 43, No. 02, November 27, 2024
(1) It has been determined that the destructive insect pest known as the Emerald Ash Borer (Agrilus planipennis), an exotic invasive plant pest that is established in several other states, has been found in Alabama. This insect can be highly destructive to Alabama's ash trees (Fraxinus species) and ash nursery stock. Therefore, it is in the best interest of Alabama's citizens, agriculture, and silviculture that this quarantine be established to limit the pest's human-assisted spread within the state.
(2) Due to the above determination, a quarantine against the above defined pest is hereby established.
