Title 3 - Agriculture
CHAPTER 27. NUISANCE PLANTS
§ 2701. Purpose.

The General Assembly finds and declares that nuisance plants within the State threaten significant recreational, aesthetic, wildlife and environmental benefits that citizens of the State have come to enjoy. The General Assembly further finds that the introduction and spread of nuisance plants has engendered border disputes between neighboring landowners. As a consequence, the purpose of this chapter is to give the Delaware Department of Agriculture the authority to regulate the sale, transfer and effects of nuisance plants within the State and thus to preserve the significant benefits previously described and to attempt to minimize or eliminate border disputes.
