STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS 14693
The production of seed crops has been, and is still today, a
vital part of Idaho agriculture supplying seed around the world.
Idaho has a well established system of registering seed
production and regulating separation of varieties. Because some
political subdivisions below the state level may consider
regulating the planting, sale, storage, or distribution of
certain types or varieties of seed. Such regulations may
conflict with existing state law and are often not based on
principals of good science. This legislation makes clear that
the regulation seed will be done by the state to insure
consistency statewide.
This legislation will not interfere with local zoning ordinances
on the location of seed handling facilities.
FISCAL NOTE
There will be no fiscal impact to the General Fund.
