Brugs , shipping and The Law

For those of you living in CA or doing business with folks who do --
Does anyone know what rules and regs exist regarding shipping 
plants
(esp. brugs, musa and other tropicals) to California? I do a lot of
plant exchanges via mail -- well, OK, I guess I'm a little
pathological (serial trader?) -- and just recently have been getting
responses of "Sorry, I can't ship to CA" from some individual
gardeners on the east coast. I haven't been able to find any info to
back this up, and hoped one of you might be able to either point me 
in
the right direction, or put it to rest once and for all. Apologies if
this goes a bit far afield of the list focus. Sliding even further 
off topic: BTW, as a rank beginner
to gardening, I discovered that Rincinus/Castor Bean plant doesn't 
die
back here in the SF Bay Area (much to my surprise). It's heading into
its third year and I guess I'm going to have to make a decision of
sorts before long . . .
