Overview

RULE:

5B-2.001	Definitions and Purpose
5B-2.0011	Referenced Material
5B-2.002	Registering with the Division
5B-2.0025	Certification and Quarantine of Nursery Stock

5B-2.008	Record of Movement of Nursery Stock or Plant Material Under Inspection
5B-2.010	Special Inspection and Certification Fees

PURPOSE:

The purpose of this amendment is to remove the exemption of aquatic plants from nursery stock classification, revise dates and titles of forms, add additional quarantine pests of limited distribution, remove fumigation services that are no longer offered by the Division, and revise the fee structure to have minimal impact on industry stakeholders. 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.

SUBJECT:

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 establish a fee structure to minimally impact the industry stakeholders.
