§ 3.1-188.39. (Repealed effective October 1, 2008) Nursery stock, articles or materials subject to stop delivery ...
The Commissioner, in order to prevent the introduction or dissemination of plant pests, is hereby authorized, either by himself or by his duly appointed agents, to stop delivery, stop sale, to treat or to order returned to point of origin, at the owner's expense, any nursery stock or any article or material whatsoever transported or moved within this Commonwealth or brought into this Commonwealth from any place outside thereof, if such nursery stock, article or material is found or reasonably suspected by him or his duly authorized agents to be infested or infected with any plant pest whether or not there is attached a valid certificate of inspection. Provided, however, when such action is taken as provided for in this section because a pest infestation is reasonably suspected, such action shall be taken only when said nursery stock, article, or material exhibits visual symptoms of pest infestation or there is a lack of origin documentation or there are no certificates of inspection. The Commissioner is hereby authorized to stop delivery or stop the sale of any nursery stock that is in the possession of an unlicensed nurseryman or dealer, until such license is secured as provided for in § 3.1-188.36. The Commissioner may also stop delivery or stop the sale of any nursery stock or any article or material transported or moved within this Commonwealth or brought into this Commonwealth from any place outside thereof if such nursery stock, article or material is not accompanied by a valid and current inspection certificate as outlined in the provisions of § 3.1-188.38.
