Title of bill
An act to amend the public health law, in relation to breast cancer research; and to amend the environmental conservation law, in relation to compilation of data on pesticides
Purpose
To authorize funding for mapping the incidence of breast cancer from the Breast Cancer Research and Education Fund.
The Environmental Conservation law would be amended to specify that the Department's annual report must disclose pesticide sales and use data by both product name and active ingredient. In addition, every person who sells restricted use pesticides to private applicators or manufacturers and imports restricted use pesticides, must file a report with the department in an electric format developed and consistent with the systems used by the department.
Justification
Many of the records on sales and use of restricted pesticides by commercial applicators, sellers, importers and manufacturers are provided to the Department on paper records. This bill will reduce the workload on the Department by requiring that filers must file their reports in electronic format or scannable forms. This change of format of records filed should reduce administrative costs of the programs and allow the Department to produce a more timely and accurate annual report.
Fiscal implications
Undetermined.
Effective date
Shall take effect on the one hundred eightieth day after it shall have become a law.
