     1  4    <Section 1.  Section 455A.4, subsection 1,

     1  7    Sec. 2.  Section 456A.37, subsection 1, paragraph
     1  8 c, Code 2005, is amended to read as follows:
     1  9    c.  "Aquatic invasive species" means a species that
     1 10 is not native to an ecosystem and whose introduction
     1 11 causes or is likely to cause economic or environmental
     1 12 harm or harm to human health including but not limited
     1 13 to habitat alteration and degradation, and loss of
     1 14 biodiversity.  For the purposes of this section,
     1 15 "aquatic invasive species" are limited to Eurasian
     1 16 water milfoil, purple loosestrife, and zebra mussels,
     1 17 except as provided in subsection 4 and those species
     1 18 identified as "aquatic invasive species" by the
     1 19 commission by rule.
     1 20    Sec. 3.  Section 456A.37, subsection 4, unnumbered
     1 21 paragraph 2, Code 2005, is amended to read as follows:
     1 22    c.  If the commission determines that an additional
     1 23 species should be defined as an "aquatic invasive
     1 24 species", the species may shall be defined by the

     1 26 subject to enactment of the definition by the general
     1 27 assembly at the next regular session of the general
     1 28 assembly.  Failure of the general assembly to enact
     1 29 the definition pursuant to this paragraph constitutes
     1 30 a nullification of the definition effective upon
     1 31 adjournment of that next regular session of the
     1 32 general assembly.>
