A coalition of agriculture advocates that successfully pushed for stronger enforcement against abandoned orchards and vineyards last year is now frustrated that the law they championed—Assembly Bill 732—has yet to be enforced. The bill by Assemblymember Alexandra Macedo, R-Tulare, allows county agricultural commissioners to assess fines of up to $1,000 per acre for properties deemed a public nuisance. It passed unanimously in both chambers and was signed by Gov. Gavin Newsom in October.
