| This bill amends the annual reporting requirements of the |
| State Board of Pesticides Control to require that report to be |
| submitted each January 15th to the joint standing committee of |
| the Legislature having jurisdiction over board matters. The |
| contents of the report are expanded to include a thorough review |
| of all commercial and noncommercial uses of pesticide products in |
| the State and identification of the purpose of those uses, the |
| environmental and economic impacts and benefits of those uses and |
| the current safety precautions and restrictions required of users |
| under all applicable federal and state laws and regulations. The |
| bill also creates a Planning and Research Associate I position |
| within the State Board of Pesticides Control to implement the |
| record-keeping system and produce the annual report. That |
| position is funded from the board's dedicated revenue account. |
