Mexican fruit flies.
Summary
Existing law sets forth legislative findings and declarations stating, among other things, that the introduction of Mexican fruit flies into California presents a serious threat to California's economy. Existing law authorizes the Secretary of Food and Agriculture to establish and operate a facility outside of the state to produce sterile Mexican fruit flies or enter into an agreement with any other public or private entity to jointly establish and operate the facility. This bill would make a technical, nonsubstantive change to those findings and declarations.
