AVFCA Position: Support
Bill Synopsis: This bill aims to enhance transparency regarding the use and monitoring of chlorpyrifos by requiring the Department of Pesticide Regulation to post quarterly reports on its website. AB-1603 builds upon existing requirements for the department to submit detailed reports to various legislative committees and the Office of the Surgeon General, including data on the amount of granular chlorpyrifos used, reasons for fluctuations in use, and information on monitoring exposure levels. By making these reports publicly accessible, the bill seeks to provide transparency for the general public and stakeholders about pesticide usage and exposure, thereby promoting accountability and better decision-making related to public health and environmental safety.
