California has very strict rules about moving produce or plants or firewood within and between counties depending on what pest/disease is present. Quarantines are common here. Here are examples on the controls for my county, Santa Clara: https://sccgov.org/sites/ag/… https://sccgov.org/sites/ag/… And then there is the Sudden Oak Death or Light Brown Apple Moth quarantines. And fruit flies, and leaf miners of all kinds, and the list goes on. This is mostly focused on impacts on agricultural crops but not all. Sudden Oak Death and LBAM affect lots of nursery crops and efforts are being made by the state to bring up to snuff all nurseries that raise materials to avoid spreading Phytophthora ramorum or SOD. Our local California Native Plant Society nursery is being completely rebuilt to comply and it's not inexpensive to do this. Few home gardeners know about these efforts but there is a lot of energy being spent to keep out plant pests and their associated diseases to protect California ag.
