Bill > SB833

This bill updates Oregon's regulations on soil-enhancing products, specifically fertilizers, agricultural amendments, agricultural minerals, and lime products. The bill makes several key changes to labeling requirements, including modifying how non-plant food ingredients and beneficial substances must be listed on product labels, with new formatting options for declaring these ingredients. It expands label requirements to include a unique identifier for custom mixed products and an internet address linking to a department website with detailed product information. The bill also authorizes the State Department of Agriculture to establish labeling guidelines that align with national standards developed by the Association of American Plant Food Control Officials. Additionally, the bill revises reporting and fee requirements for companies distributing these products, introducing new provisions for filing semiannual tonnage reports, including stricter consequences for late or missed reports. Specifically, companies now face potential collection fees and product registration suspension if they fail to file reports or pay inspection fees within specified timeframes (30 and 90 days after reporting periods). These changes aim to improve transparency, standardization, and compliance in the soil-enhancing products industry.
