Bill Information
Summary
This bill, concerning agriculture and pesticides, aims to streamline labeling requirements by allowing federal pesticide warning or labeling to satisfy state requirements in Kansas. Specifically, if a pesticide is registered under Kansas law or federal law (7 U.S.C. § 136 et seq., which governs federal pesticide regulation), and its label aligns with either the most recent federal human health assessment or the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) carcinogenicity classification for that pesticide, then that label will be considered sufficient to meet any Kansas warning or labeling requirements related to health or safety. This provision is intended to ensure uniformity in pesticide labeling, as mandated by federal law (7 U.S.C. § 136v), and will be a part of and supplemental to the existing agricultural chemical act in Kansas.
