AB 2509: Invasive Species Council of California: activities: definitions.

Existing law establishes the Invasive Species Council of California to help coordinate a comprehensive effort to prevent the introduction of invasive species in the state and to advise state agencies how to facilitate coordinated, complementary, and cost-effective control or eradication of invasive species that have entered or are already established in the state, as specified.

This bill would require the council to prioritize specified activities, including integrated pest management for controlling invasive species already established in the state, in all of its activities. The bill would define integrated pest management and invasive species for those purposes.
