Bill Summary
AN ACT relating to an alert system for dangerous plant and wildlife pests and diseases administered by the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service.
AI Summary
This bill establishes a statewide, Internet-based alert system administered by the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service to provide notifications about dangerous plant and wildlife pests, diseases, and quarantines. The alert system will be developed in cooperation with the Department of Agriculture, Texas Animal Health Commission, and Parks and Wildlife Department, and will send email notifications for three key types of information: confirmed cases of dangerous pests or diseases, changes to pest or disease quarantine orders, and compliance agreements related to pest or disease quarantines. Users can enroll to receive these notifications, and the extension service must enter into memorandums of understanding with the partner agencies to ensure that notifications are issued within 72 hours of relevant actions by those agencies. The bill is set to take effect on September 1, 2025, and aims to improve timely communication about potential agricultural and wildlife threats across Texas.
