The Legislative Assembly finds and declares that: (1) Noxious weeds present a serious threat that adversely affects industries vital to the Oregon economy, including but not limited to the agriculture, forestry, fishing and tourism industries; (2) Failure to control the spread of noxious weeds in Oregon will reduce the productivity of Oregon industries and adversely affect marketing by those industries, resulting in a loss of business and the loss of existing jobs; (3) The use of aggressive measures to control the spread of noxious weeds will improve the actual and perceived quality of Oregon products and further the promotion and expansion of markets for those products; and (4) The control of noxious weeds through county weed control district programs will benefit Oregons economy by preventing the loss of existing jobs, by promoting and expanding Oregon business and by preventing the decline of Oregon business.
