DATE'. June 13 , 1988 Co �,
SUBJECT: Legislation: Assembly Bill 3857 (Harvey) �' t`J�
SPECIFIC REQUEST(S) OR RECOMMENDATIONS) & BACKGROUND AND JUSTIFICATION
RECOMMENDATION•
Adopt a position of support for AB 3857 by Assemblyman Harvey
which would authorize the Board of Supervisors to establish a fee
to recover the cost of having the Agricultural Commissioner
investigate and confirm the destruction of produce which has been
treated with an economic poison under a research authorization.
BACKGROUND:
Current administrative regulations provide for a research
authorization procedure under the Department of Food and
Agriculture prior to any experimental unregistered use of an
economic poison (pesticide) . 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.
