HB 1946 - DIGEST

Finds that pesticide use reporting is crucial for the protection of human health and safety and to protect Washington's water and environment. The legislature further finds that the development of a comprehensive, reliable, and cost-effective system for collecting and organizing information on all categories of pesticide use in Washington allows people to obtain information with a single contact regarding what pesticide was used, where it was used, and under what conditions it was used. This information is valuable when used for conducting detailed studies of human exposure to pesticides, environmental monitoring, and the relationship to human health.
