Oregon Statutes - Chapter 452 - Vector and Weed Control - Section 452.615 - Policy; tansy ragwort as nuisance.

In recognition of the imminent and continuous menace to livestock, wildlife, land and agricultural products of this state, and in recognition of the widespread infestations and potential infestations of tansy ragwort throughout this state, and in exercise of the police power of this state for the protection of the health and welfare of the people of this state, tansy ragwort (Senecio jacobaea) is declared to be a public nuisance and shall be detected, controlled and, where feasible, eradicated on all lands in this state, and in further recognition that known, effective and practical control or eradication measures are presently unavailable and that suppression of this public nuisance is dependent upon determining such measures, the State Department of Agriculture shall undertake studies, investigations and research for the development of control or eradication methods. It is declared to be the policy of this state that priority shall be given first to the prevention of new infestations of tansy ragwort and then to the control and eradication of tansy ragwort in infested areas.
