Universal Citation: 31 TX Admin Code ยง 530.1
Current through Reg. 49, No. 38; September 20, 2024

Pursuant to Section 201.0225, Agriculture Code, the Texas State Soil and Water Conservation Board (State Board) shall develop and implement a program to eradicate Carrizo cane along the Rio Grande River, added by Acts 2015, 84th Leg., R.S., Ch. 431 (S.B. 1734), Sec. 1, effective June 10, 2015. Within this context, and with the understanding based on legislative committee discussion that the purpose of the Carrizo Cane Eradication Program is to take steps to control this non-native invasive species because it poses an ecological threat and provides cover for individuals seeking to cross the border illegally into the United States, it is the policy of the State Board to administer a voluntary program in cooperation with local soil and water conservation districts (SWCDs) that provides technical and financial assistance to landowners for supporting those purposes. In accordance with this purpose, §§ 530.1- 530.7 of this subchapter are adopted.
