Bill > HB3651

This bill requires farmers and agricultural producers who plant turf type perennial ryegrass or turf type tall fescue (specific varieties of grass seeds) for commercial sale to complete two key actions with Oregon State University: first, they must register the field where these grass seeds are being grown, and second, they must submit an annual report detailing the volume and type of grass seed produced in that field. Oregon State University will be responsible for developing the specific process and method for how these registrations and reports will be completed. The legislation appears to be aimed at creating a more structured tracking system for agricultural seed production, specifically for these two types of grass, which will likely help the state monitor and potentially support the agricultural seed industry.
