What it does
This bill creates a pesticide drift and pollution task force (task force) within the department of agriculture and land stewardship. The task force is chaired by the secretary of agriculture and includes members with backgrounds in various scientific disciplines, representatives of the industry, representatives of persons involved in the application of pesticides, and persons affected by the application of pesticides. The task force must study methods to reduce or mitigate pesticide pollution due to the movement of chemical compounds passing through the air, dissolving in water, absorbing into the soil matrix, or adhering to sediment; and the associated effects on aquatic organisms and drinking water supplies.
