Current through June 25, 2024
Procedures for declaring additional weeds as noxious or
						for deregulation of weeds listed as noxious are as follows:
1. The Bureau shall accept written petitions
					 requesting that weeds not listed above be regulated as noxious or that a
					 currently listed weed be deregulated. Such petition(s) shall provide
					 justification for listing or de-listing to the Bureau.
2. The Advisory Board to the Bureau, shall
					 decide for or against the petition(s) to list a weed as noxious based on
					 factual information as required by the Bureau for each plant proposed to be
					 added to the noxious weed list. The Advisory Board may hear testimonial
					 evidence for or against said listing at Board meetings or hearings.
3. Justification for de-listing a weed may
					 include, but not be limited to: a. recent factual data not previously presented
					 to the Bureau proving that said weed has not adversely affected
					 agricultural/horticultural production or the environment as previously
					 declared; b. data proving said weed no longer can be regulated, is endemic and
					 control/regulatory activities have not been successful; or c. the regulatory
					 program has proven to be cost prohibitive. The Bureau Director and/or State
					 Entomologist shall first review and based on data presented determine whether a
					 submitted petition to de-list a weed meets justification for Advisory Board
					 consideration. The Advisory Board may hear testimonial evidence for or against
					 said de-listing at Board meetings or hearings.
4. Other than as described in this
					 subsection, federal noxious weeds may only be listed in subsection 140.01 after
					 being found in Mississippi or after USDA, APHIS, PPQ or another federal
					 regulatory agency having such authority requests the Bureau's assistance in
					 regulating or surveying for such weeds and provides funding through a
					 cooperative agreement to do so.

Current through June 25, 2024
Adoption of regulatory requirements for listed noxious
						weeds. Should the need prevail, the Bureau and with the approval of its
						Advisory Board may establish separate rules, guidelines and policies for each
						weed so listed. Implementation of such rules shall be done in order to prevent
						the spread of noxious weeds into and within the state of Mississippi and to
						other states which adopt quarantine measures. Having such authority and with
						the approval of the Advisory Board, the Bureau may determine applicable
						pathways of spread, regulated areas, articles to be regulated and the
						disposition of such articles found to be in violation.

Quarantine Imposed. It is hereby declared under the
						provisions of
Miss. Code Ann
. §§
											69-25-1
						through
						69-25-47
						of the Mississippi Plant Act that with the approval of the Bureau's Advisory
						Board a quarantine may be imposed upon specific noxious weeds so listed in
						subsection 136.01 when detected in the State of Mississippi. However, should a
						need arise dictating an emergency quarantine on a non-listed noxious weed the
						Bureau may implement such effective for 90 days during which time the Advisory
						Board may officially declare the weed as noxious and approve a specific final
						quarantine rule. Unless otherwise determined and specified in such rules,
						regulated articles may only be moved out of a quarantined or regulated area
						under special permit or certificate, which has been issued by the Bureau. Also,
						unless otherwise specified by regulation, regulated articles moved into the
						state must enter under a special written permit issued by the Bureau or must be
						accompanied by a certificate from the state of origin. Such certificate shall
						be issued based upon an inspection of the article(s) by an authorized inspector
						in the state of origin declaring such article to be apparently free from seed,
						vegetative forms or any other living stage(s) of plant growth of any noxious
						weed listed in subsection 136.01.

The premises of nurseries growing seedlings for
						forestation purposes must be inspected by an official inspector and declared to
						be apparently free of pests, including cogongrass and other noxious weeds
						listed in subsection 136.01 of this chapter. The preferred method of treatment,
						to insure pest-free plant material, is fumigation using methyl bromide in
						seedling plant beds prior to seeding. All such treatments shall be done using
						state and federally-registered pesticides. An official inspector of the Bureau
						shall issue certificates prior to any shipment of seedlings grown in
						Mississippi. Each shipment originating from another state must be accompanied
						by a certificate of inspection issued by the state of origin to verify
						inspections and/or treatments.
