Bill Summary
Treated seeds. Requires the state seed commissioner to study the adverse environmental effects of seeds treated with certain insecticides and to report to the interim study committee on agriculture and natural resources (committee) not later than June 30, 2027. Requires the committee to submit recommendations for proposed legislation to the legislative council not later than October 31, 2027.
AI Summary
This bill requires the state seed commissioner to conduct a comprehensive study on the potential adverse environmental effects of seeds treated with specific insecticide classes, specifically neonicotinoids and diamides. By June 30, 2027, the seed commissioner must prepare a detailed report examining potential harm to animals and risks to human health, and submit this report electronically to the legislative services agency. The interim study committee on agriculture and natural resources will then review the report and develop legislative recommendations, which they must submit to the legislative council by October 31, 2027. Both the study requirement and the reporting mandate are set to expire on January 1, 2028, suggesting this is a time-limited investigation into the environmental impacts of treated seeds. The bill aims to provide policymakers with scientific insights that could potentially inform future regulations or policies related to agricultural seed treatment practices.
