The department shall provide information about the proper process for obtaining a permit from the United States Department of Agriculture, Animal and Plant Health Inspection Service, Plant Protection and Quarantine program to an individual seeking to grow and sell Ipomoea aquatica Forssk., commonly referred to as water spinach. If an application for such a permit is submitted by an individual, the department may not object to the issuance of the permit pursuant to 7 Code of Federal Regulations, Section 360.304 on the grounds that granting the permit would pose a risk of dissemination of a noxious weed into the State as long as the permittee will follow any federal Plant Protection and Quarantine program containment facility guidelines for noxious weeds and parasitic seed plants and any operational performance standards for the handling and movement of the plants after sale.’
