Whenever the Commissioner of Agriculture and Commerce finds that there exists outside of this state any destructive or nuisance insect pest, disease or noxious weed, the commissioner may give public notice thereof, specifying the locations, the plants and the plant products infested, infected or declared noxious and which are likely to become infested or infected therewith. In order to safeguard the environment, agricultural and horticultural production, plants and plant products, the movement of such plants or plant products or other things or substances into this state from the infected or infested locality shall thereafter be prohibited until the commissioner determines that the danger of the introduction into this state of such insect pests, diseases or noxious weeds from such locality has ceased to exist.
