It is the intent of the Legislature to eliminate duplication of regulatory authority over nurseries. Notwithstanding any other law to the contrary, the authority to regulate, inspect, and permit:

(1) Nursery owners, plant brokers, and stock dealers; and

(2) Nurseries, nursery stock, plants, and plant products, including any aquatic plant as defined in s. 369.22 which is grown in a nursery,

is preempted to the department.
