BILL NUMBER:S6022
Title of bill
An act to amend the environmental conservation law, in relation to reporting requirements for commercial pesticide applicators
Purpose or general idea of bill
This legislation seeks to clarify the information that is necessary for pesticide applicators to submit under the pesticide notification law.
Summary of specific provisions
Section 1 of the bill states that commercial applicators must submit information such as EPA registration number, product name, quantity of each pesticide used, as well as the County and Zip Code where the product was applied. This section does not require the date of application, and the full street address to be provided. Section 2 is the effective date.
Justification
Currently applicators have to submit daily reports of every pesticide applied to aid in cancer research. This information is supposed to be contained in a report issued annually by the Department, however this report does not contain the date or street address of application. As a result of this information not being contained in the report there is no reason for it to be collected. Money for this data collection is contained in the EPF and is not even enough to cover the costs of collecting data and printing the report, by excising ~ion-essential information we will be able to save costs and make better use of the information that is pertinent.
