2005 California Fish and Game Code Sections 1925-1926 CHAPTER 11. CALIFORNIA DESERT NATIVE PLANTS

1925.  The department shall enforce the provisions of the California
Desert Native Plants Act Division 23 (commencing with Section 80001)
of the Food and Agricultural Code except that permits, tags, seals,
and wood receipts shall be issued pursuant to Chapter 4 (commencing
with Section 80101) of Division 23 of the Food and Agricultural Code,
by the county agricultural commissioner or the sheriff.  Nothing in
the California Desert Native Plants Act, or any other law, prohibits
the department from taking, for scientific or propagation purposes,
any species of native plants.  The department may import, propagate,
and distribute native plants, and the California Desert Native Plants
Act does not apply to those activities.
1926.  In carrying out the provisions of this chapter, the
department shall cooperate fully with the Department of Food and
Agriculture.
