  1. (a) The General Assembly has found and determined and does hereby declare that the boll weevil is a public nuisance, a pest, and a menace to the cotton industry. Due to the interstate nature of the boll weevil infestation, it is necessary to secure the cooperation of cotton growers and other state and federal governments to carry out a program of boll weevil suppression or eradication.

  2. (b) The purpose of this subchapter is to secure the suppression or eradication of the boll weevil and to provide for certification of a cotton growers' organization to cooperate with state and federal agencies in the administration of any available cost-sharing programs for the suppression or eradication of the boll weevil.

  3. (c) This subchapter should be liberally construed to achieve the purposes provided in this section.
