Existing law does not prohibit a county or municipality from adopting an ordinance, rule, or resolution regulating fertilizers if the ordinance or rule does not conflict with state law.
This bill would prohibit local governments from adopting any ordinance, rule, or resolution pertaining to the subject matter of fertilizers and would reserve actions relating to the entire subject of fertilizers to the Department of Agriculture and Industries. The bill would also provide for exceptions.
