弗吉尼亚州立法者已经用民事罚款取代了对安装入侵植物(如英国常春藤和日本蜂蜜圈)的园艺人员的刑事指控,对累犯的罚款上限为1 000美元,由植物污染基金供资。 Virginia lawmakers have replaced criminal charges with civil fines for landscapers installing invasive plants like English ivy and Japanese honeysuckle, capping penalties at $1,000 for repeat offenses, with proceeds funding the Plant Pollination Fund. 该法规定在零售点对39种入侵物种进行更清晰的标签,并要求在二至七年内分阶段清除。 The law mandates clearer labeling of 39 invasive species at retail outlets and requires phased removal over two to seven years. 它把重点从惩罚转向教育,旨在减少生态损害,同时减轻执行负担。 It shifts focus from punishment to education, aiming to reduce ecological damage while easing enforcement burdens. 该州利用科学评估每四年更新一次的入侵物种清单现在将指导监管工作。 The state’s invasive species list, updated every four years using science-based assessments, will now guide regulation.
