The Consumer Specialty Products Association (CSPA) and member companies are pleased with the Pesticide Registration Enhancement Act (PRIA) passing through the US House of Representatives. Introduced by Rep. Rodney Davis (R-IL), H.R. 1029 has now referred to the Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry.
“CSPA and its member companies are pleased that the U.S. House of Representatives has passed H.R. 1029, the Pesticide Registration Enhancement Act of 2017. This important piece of legislation had strong bipartisan support, and it was also staunchly-backed by industry trade groups, environmental and farm worker groups, and state agricultural regulators. This bill reauthorizes and improves the law that governs the EPA approval process for pesticides used in the U.S. We respectfully urge the Senate to quickly pass this bill because it is crucial that industry continues to bring to the market place EPA-approved public health products, including insecticides, mosquito and tick repellents, disinfectants and sanitizers (antimicrobials). These products are increasingly important to combat the rise of insect-borne disease in the United States, such as the Zika and West Nile viruses.”
