Bill > HB2476

This bill proposes that if a pesticide is registered under Kansas law or federal law, and its label aligns with the most recent human health assessment or the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency's (EPA) classification regarding carcinogenicity for that pesticide, then those federal labeling requirements will automatically satisfy any similar state-level warning or labeling requirements concerning health or safety. This aims to create uniformity in pesticide labeling, referencing federal laws like the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), which is codified in 7 U.S.C. § 136 et seq., and a specific federal statute (7 U.S.C. § 136v) that addresses uniformity in pesticide regulation. The bill clarifies that this change does not prevent lawsuits or legal actions that are unrelated to product warnings or labeling and will be added to existing Kansas agricultural chemical laws.
