AI Summary
This bill amends the Illinois Pesticide Act to regulate pesticides containing PFAS, which are chemicals with at least one fully fluorinated carbon atom. Starting January 1, 2027, pesticide registrants must either state their product contains no PFAS or provide detailed information about any PFAS present, including their names, purposes, and quantities. The Director of Agriculture will be prohibited from registering any pesticide with intentionally added PFAS, meaning PFAS deliberately included to perform a specific function, and the use of such pesticides will be banned. Furthermore, beginning January 1, 2030, the use of any spray adjuvant, which are substances added to pesticides to improve their effectiveness, that contains intentionally added PFAS will also be prohibited. The Department of Agriculture is required to create rules to enforce these new provisions, which aim to reduce the presence of these chemicals in pesticides and their use.
