A code declaring ragweed and poison ivy to be
a nuisance, providing for removal or abatement thereof and recovery
of expenses incurred by the Board of Health in removing or abating
such nuisance and prescribing penalties for violations is hereby established
pursuant to Chapter 188, Laws of 1950. A copy of said code is annexed hereto and made a part
hereof without the inclusion of the text thereof herein.
The code established and adopted by this chapter
is described and commonly known as the "Weed Control Code of New Jersey
(1953)."
Three copies of said Weed Control Code of New
Jersey (1953) have been placed on file in the office of the Secretary
of this local Board of Health upon the introduction of this chapter
and will remain on file there for the use and examination of the public
so long as said chapter is in effect.
Any person who violates or fails or neglects
to comply with any provision of this chapter or the code established
herein or notice issued pursuant thereto shall, upon conviction thereof,
be liable to a penalty of not less than $2 nor more than $100 for
each violation.
In the event that any section, sentence or clause
of this chapter or the code shall be declared unconstitutional by
a court of competent jurisdiction, such declaration shall not in any
manner prejudice the enforcement of the remaining provisions.
