SB 5701-S - DIGEST

(DIGEST AS ENACTED)

     Provides that a material approved under this act may be distributed as a commercial fertilizer and may be registered as a packaged commercial fertilizer.  However, the department may refuse to register such a material as a packaged commercial fertilizer, may cancel the registration of the material as a packaged commercial fertilizer, and may prohibit its distribution as a commercial fertilizer if the department finds evidence that use of the material as a commercial fertilizer poses unacceptable hazards to human health or the environment that were not known during the approval process specified.

     Finds that an optional procedure should be established that provides certainty as to whether certain materials generated as byproducts from the manufacturing of wood products may clearly be distributed and used as commercial fertilizer.
