Soil and Plant Amendment Act

The Soil and Plant Amendment Act regulates the commercial distribution of soil and plant amendment products, requiring that such products be registered with a designated state agency and that their formulas be submitted before sale. It sets mandatory labeling standards, imposes tonnage fees and periodic tonnage reporting on distributors, and prohibits the sale of misbranded, adulterated, or short-weight products. Enforcement is carried out through inspection, sampling, and analysis, backed by stop-sale orders, penalties for deficient analysis and other violations, and rulemaking authority; the act also reserves regulation of these products to the state by barring conflicting local ordinances.
