  infested or infected articles. 


    Upon knowledge of the existence of a dangerous or injurious 
 plant pest or invasive species within the state, the 
 commissioner may conspicuously mark all plants, infested areas, 
 materials, and articles known or suspected to be infected or 
 infested with the plant pest or invasive species.  Persons, 
 owners, or tenants in possession of the premises or area in 
 which the existence of the plant pest or invasive species is 
 suspected must be notified by the commissioner with prescribed

 control order within the prescribed time.  If the commissioner 
 determines that satisfactory control or mitigation of the pest 
 has been achieved, the order must be released.
