EUROPEAN CORN BORER 
State Regulations 
The regulations outlined below are those issued by various States subsequent 
to the cancellation of the Federal quarantine on account of the European corn 
borer. The compilation is prepared in response to requests for such information 
but is not intended to be used independently of or as a substitute for the quar- 
antines and is not to be interpreted as legally authoritative. The quarantines 
themselves should be consulted for the exact wording of legal orders. It should 
be understood that the Bureau of Plant Quarantine of the United States Depart- 
ment of Agriculture is not in a position to give explanatory information concern- 
ing State quarantines. Inquiries as to the interpretation of such restrictions or 
requests for the full text of orders should be addressed to the appropriate official 
of the State concerned. It is also possible that quarantine orders or revisions 
have been issued which have not reached the Federal department. 
The orders in the following summary are divided into several groups, as the 
various States have issued different types of quarantine regulations.
