Description of Proposed Guidance Document Changes

The Plants and Plant Products Inspection Law (Va. Code § 3.2-3800 et seq.) prohibits retail establishments from selling or offering for retail sale for outdoor use a plant that is an invasive plant species unless such retail establishment posts in a conspicuous manner on the property located in proximity to each invasive plant display signage identifying such plant as invasive, educating consumers regarding invasive plant species, and encouraging consumers to ask about alternatives. The Second Enactment of Chapters 393 and 409 of the 2025 Acts of Assembly requires the Commissioner of Agriculture and Consumer Services to designate the format, size, and content of the sign required by the Law. This Guidance Document designates the format, size, and content of the sign.
