AB 3857 would require any person who holds a research authorization to pay the costs incurred by the County Agricultural Commissioner if the Commissioner is required to investigate and confirm the destruction of produce which has been treated with the economic poison being tested. The County Agricultural Commissioner recommends that the Board support AB 3857 and this office concurs with that recommendation.
