AB 2470 California Seed Law

Bill signed into law by Governor Jerry Brown on 8/25/14 that alters the California Seed Law. An amendment added to the bill late in the process states that 'Notwithstanding any other law, on and after January 1, 2015, a city, county, or district, including a charter city or county, shall not adopt or enforce an ordinance that regulates plants, crops, or seeds without the consent of the secretary. An ordinance enacted before January 1, 2015, shall be considered part of the comprehensive program of the department and shall be enforceable.' [30]
