AN ACT CONCERNING THE PROHIBITION ON SELLING OR USING CERTAIN INVASIVE PLANTS.

HB 6282 prohibits the sale and use of 10 specific invasive plant species, including Japanese Barberry, Burning Bush, English Ivy, and Tree of Heaven. This bill directly affects nurseries, garden centers, landscapers, and property owners who currently sell or use these plants. The key provision adds these species to the state's official list of prohibited plants under general statutes. The law makes it illegal to sell, distribute, or plant these species within the state. The bill aims to prevent the spread of plants that harm local ecosystems and native wildlife.
