University of California Center for Pest Research.

The University of California Pest Research Act of 1990 provides for the establishment of the University of California Center for Pest Research, and describes the intent of the Legislature with regard to the responsibilities of the center concerning pest control research. For purposes of the act, the term "pest" is defined to mean specified pests that are, or are likely to become, dangerous or detrimental to the agricultural or nonagricultural environment of the state, including certain insects, nematodes, or weeds, and any form of terrestrial, aquatic, or aerial plant, virus, fungus, bacteria, or other microorganism, except as provided. This bill would make a nonsubstantive change in that definition of "pest."
