(1)  Loosestrife articles may not be imported into Montana unless under permit issued by the department. The department may issue permits for herbarium, educational, and research purposes provided that there is no threat to Montana's native plant community. The permit shall include the name and address of the importer, the botanical and common variety name of the loosestrife articles, the location in Montana where the loosestrife articles will be located, and the terms and conditions under which the loosestrife articles will be kept so as to prevent the introduction of the articles into Montana's native plant community. The department may also request other information as it deems necessary.
