Change fees under the Plant Protection and Plant Pest Act and the Pesticide Act, change provisions relating to the Weeds of the Great Plains book, and change, eliminate, and terminate certain funds
LB 947 modifies Nebraska's agricultural fee structures and fund management under the Plant Protection and Plant Pest Act and Pesticide Act. It changes registration fees for pesticides, eliminates the Weed Book Cash Fund (related to the "Weeds of the Great Plains" publication), and terminates the Nebraska Potato Development Fund, transferring remaining funds as specified. The bill also adjusts how the Department of Agriculture administers the Noxious Weed Control Fund and removes obsolete provisions. These changes primarily affect agricultural businesses paying fees, county weed control programs, and the Department's budget management.
