| To the Members of the California State Assembly: I am returning Assembly Bill 2745 without my signature. This bill authorizes a county agricultural commissioner to levy a civil penalty against a person who maintains a public nuisance in violation of pest abatement laws. While I support the author's goal of giving county agricultural commissioners an enforcement tool to combat negligent properties that harbor harmful pests, the broad definitions in this bill may unintentionally lead to penalties being assessed against growers who utilize insects in their practices that are not harmful to adjacent areas. I encourage the Legislature to work with relevant stakeholders on legislation that provides enforcement tools to combat negligent properties while providing sufficient protections for growers utilizing beneficial insects. Sincerely, Gavin Newsom |
