Washington to reorganize horticultural law and standards
A new Oregon style bill advanced in Olympia would abolish existing horticultural rules and create 24 district inspectors led by a college graduate state horticultural commissioner. Inspectors enforce disinfection, licensing, and fruit labeling while a district fund and annual institute are established. The measure, backed by growers, relocates the office to Tacoma and carries an emergency clause.
