By Representative(s) SAY (BR)

Companion Bill: SB 2746

Subjects: Governor

Report Title: Pesticides

Description: Defines "integrated pest management". Amends the definition of "pest" under the Hawaii pesticides law. Allows the pesticide use revolving fund (fund) to be used for the development of integrated pest management strategies and personnel costs. Removes the ceiling on the balance in the fund. Amends the lapsing of moneys to the general fund to specify that all unobligated, unencumbered, or unexpended funds remaining in the fund in excess of $250,000 at the close of each fiscal year shall lapse to the state general fund. Clarifies that penalties imposed by the board of agriculture are administrative penalties and provides a procedure to recover administrative penalties imposed. Deletes pesticides that are no longer registered for use from coloration requirements. Exempts pesticides deregulated by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency from regulation in Hawaii.
