Agricultural seed: county seed enforcement subventions.
Existing law, the California Seed Law, provides for an optional subvention program under which a county may enter into a cooperative agreement with the Secretary of Food and Agriculture to receive an annual apportionment of funds from the secretary for maintaining a statewide compliance level on all seed within the county. Under those provisions, a county with no registered seed labelers may annually receive $100, at the discretion of the secretary and upon recommendation of the Seed Advisory Board, and a county with registered seed labeler operations may annually receive a subvention based on enforcement activity generated by the registered seed labeler operations within the county, and upon the performance of enforcement activities, in accordance with a method for calculating apportionments for participating counties based on units of activity, as specified. Existing law makes those provisions inoperative on July 1, 2016, except as specified, and repeals those provisions on January 1, 2017.
