Legislative findings and purpose
Official statutory text
The legislature hereby finds and declares that the boll weevil has for many years been a public nuisance, a pest, and a menace to the cotton industry. The boll weevil has caused the destruction of vast quantities of cotton and thereby imposed severe economic losses upon cotton producers in the state. Due to the interstate nature of the boll weevil infestation, it is necessary to secure the cooperation of cotton producers and other state and federal governments to carry out a program of boll weevil suppression and eradication. The purpose of this Part is to secure the suppression or eradication of the boll weevil and to cooperate with state and federal agencies in the administration of cost-sharing programs for the suppression or eradication of the boll weevil.
