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), HR 1029 has now referred to the Committee on Agriculture, Nutrition and Forestry.
“CSPA and its member companies are pleased that the US House of Representatives has passed HR 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,” said Steve Caldeira, president and CEO, CSPA. ”This bill reauthorizes and improves the law that governs the EPA approval process for pesticides used in the US. We respectfully urge the Senate to quickly pass this bill because it is crucial that industry continues to bring to the marketplace EPA-approved public health products, including insecticides, mosquito and tick repellents, disinfectants and sanitizers (antimicrobials).”
