§ 142. Implementation. The commissioner may adopt and promulgate such rules and regulations to supplement and give full effect to the provisions of this article as he may deem necessary. The commissioner or his authorized agents may remove from further sale or prohibit from sale any unlabeled seed or any seeds which are found to be so unclean as to be unfit for seeding purposes until they have been properly recleaned and may prohibit further sale or may destroy seeds which are found to be so weak or low in germination as to be unfit for seeding purposes.

The commissioner may, through promulgation of regulations, add to, or subtract noxious weed seeds from definition seven, section one hundred thirty-six of this article, whenever he finds, after public hearing, that such addition or subtraction is in the best interests of the agriculture of this state.

In promulgating the initial germination standard for each kind of flower, tree and shrub seed, the commissioner shall publish the proposed standard at least three years previous to its effective date and shall arrange a public hearing for consideration of the proposed standard prior to its final adoption. The commissioner may, at his discretion, temporarily suspend any flower seed germination standard thus promulgated.
