Bill Summary

AI Summary
This bill increases the maximum pesticide registration fee from $400 to $550 for each pesticide and its formulations, which businesses must pay annually to the State Department of Agriculture when registering their pesticides for sale or distribution in Oregon. The bill amends the existing Oregon Revised Statute (ORS) 634.016, which requires manufacturers and distributors to register pesticides and devices each year by submitting an application that includes details like brand name, label, active and inert ingredients, and pays the associated registration fee. The amendments will become operatively effective on January 1, 2026, giving the State Department of Agriculture time to prepare for implementing the new fee structure. The bill itself will take effect 91 days after the 2025 regular legislative session adjourns, which is a standard procedural approach for implementing new legislation. The fee increase likely aims to support the department's costs of regulating and monitoring pesticide registration, though the specific rationale for the $150 increase is not explicitly stated in the bill text.
