Rule 40-4-26-.01 - Establishment and Purpose of Regulations and Quarantine

The purpose of these Rules is to minimize the spread of serious graft-transmissible diseases as well as certain other pathogens and nematodes of citrus by:

(1) requiring anyone propagating citrus to participate in a mandatory citrus nursery stock program; and
(2) outlining established protocols for movement of citrus into the state of Georgia. The requirements for program participation are established in these Rules.

It is intended that there shall be no propagation of citrus nursery stock except as provided in these Rules, and it shall be unlawful to plant citrus nursery stock in Georgia unless that citrus nursery stock has been propagated in compliance with the requirements of these Rules.
