Bill Summary
An act to amend Section 52352 of the Food and Agricultural Code, relating to seed, and making an appropriation therefor.
AI Summary
This bill would allow the Secretary of Food and Agriculture, after consulting with the Seed Advisory Board, to increase the annual registration fee for businesses selling agricultural or vegetable seed in California from the current $40 to $100. Furthermore, starting January 1, 2028, the Secretary could annually increase this fee by up to $50, with a maximum total fee of $300. This change is being made because the existing law, the California Seed Law, requires businesses that label or sell seed to register annually, and the fees collected are continuously appropriated to the Department of Food and Agriculture to fund its operations related to seed regulation.
