Section 5260.

Latest version.

The Legislature hereby finds and declares all of the following:

(a) Global travel, global trade, and climate change are introducing invasive animals, plants, insects, and plant and animal diseases to California.

(b) The State of California should undertake advance planning on whether and how to address those invasive animals, plants, insects, and plant and animal diseases that are a threat to the state's agriculture, environment, or economy.

(c) The Legislature fully recognizes that any prediction of which invasive pests will enter California cannot be precise because of the many entry mechanisms.
