NOTICE OF REVIEW AND STATEMENT OF CONTINUATION

Concise explanation of the particular statutory provisions under which the rule is enacted and how these provisions authorize or require the rule:

Section 4-2-2 authorizes the Department of Agriculture and Food to establish and enforce rules necessary for the effective administration of the agricultural laws of the state; to inspect any private or public place which may become infested or infected with harmful insects, plant diseases, noxious or poisonous weeds, or other agricultural pests; to establish and enforce quarantines.

 

Summary of written comments received during and since the last five-year review of the rule from interested persons supporting or opposing the rule:

No written comments have been received.

 

Reasoned justification for continuation of the rule, including reasons why the agency disagrees with comments in opposition to the rule, if any:

The commissioner does establish a quarantine setting forth the name of the pest against which the quarantine is established, the infested area, the products regulated, and specifying conditions governing shipments and issuance of certificates under which products may be shipped. This rule outlines those quarantines and therefore, this rule should be continued.
