| Goals of Regulation |
1. The protection of the public's health, safety, and welfare with the least possible cost and intrusiveness to the citizens and businesses of the Commonwealth.
2. The prevention of the spread of plant pests when nursery stock is sold (and thereby enhancing the marketability of Virginia-grown nursery stock) by:
a) Facilitating the acceptance in interstate commerce of Virginia-produced narcissus plants, narcissus bulbs, and vegetable transplants.
b) Protecting Virginia's white pine plantings from the destructive disease White Pine Blister Rust, Cronartium ribicola, the spores of which can spread from infected currant plants to healthy white pines, resulting in death of the trees.
