ARA Co-Signed Pesticide Preemption Coalition Letter
Feb 24 2023
ARA co-signed a Pesticide Preemption Coalition letter sent to House and Senate Ag Committee leaders to express strong support for including in the 2023 Farm Bill reauthorization language under Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) that codifies state oversight of pesticides at the state level.
This targeted fix will ensure that those with expertise at state-led agencies and the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) are the ones to determine pesticide usage and protect the status quo of 46 states where robust oversight of pesticides is already occurring, including Arkansas, California, Georgia, Michigan and Pennsylvania.
