Bill Summary
Powers of service districts; control of invasive plant species. Allows a service district created within a locality to control the spread of any plant that is identified on the list of invasive plant species established by the Department of Conservation and Recreation.
AI Summary
This bill allows a service district, which is a designated area within a locality (a county or city) created to provide specific services, to control the spread of plants that are officially listed as invasive by the Department of Conservation and Recreation. Invasive plants are non-native species that can outcompete native plants and disrupt local ecosystems. This new power is added to the existing list of services that these districts can provide, which already includes things like water supply, garbage removal, street cleaning, and economic development.
