[Kathy Daniel]

Does Maryland have similar legislation in the works?

There is some important invasive species legislation pending during the
short Virginia legislative session. See summary below.

Study; Department of Conservation and Recreation and Virginia Department of
Agriculture and Consumer Services; invasive plant species work group;
report. Requests the Department of Conservation and Recreation, jointly
with the Department of Agriculture and Consumer Services, to establish a
work group to study the sale and use of invasive plant species. The
resolution requests that the departments work with several state agencies,
conservation nonprofits, and plant industry and agriculture groups to
develop recommendations regarding statutory and regulatory changes intended
to reduce or eliminate the sale and use of invasive plant species in the
Commonwealth and promote the sale and use of native plants.
