AI Summary
This bill aims to authorize the use of biological and botanical pesticide products that are considered appropriate for organic farming on hemp and marijuana cultivation. It directs the Department of Agricultural Resources and the Pesticide Control Board to allow the application of such pesticides, provided that the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) allows their use on food and tobacco crops and has not established a federal tolerance limit. The bill also requires the Department to consider the pesticide regulations and guidance of other cannabis and hemp legalization states, avoid including genetically modified products, and develop guidance or regulations to implement this provision.
