(a) The commissioner shall develop rules and procedures to:
(1) protect the eligibility of organic citrus producers to be certified by the commissioner;
(2) ensure that organic and transitional certifications by the commissioner continue to meet national certification standards in order for organic citrus to maintain international marketability; and
(3) in all events maintain the effectiveness of the pest suppression program and disease management administered under this chapter.
(b) The board may not treat or require treatment of organic citrus groves with chemicals that are not approved for use on certified organic citrus. Rules adopted under Subsection (a) may provide indemnity for the organic citrus producers for reasonable losses that result from a prohibition of production of organic citrus or from any requirement of destruction of organic citrus.
