What’s in it

This bill provides for a defense from civil liability associated with the use of pesticides that are registered with the United States environmental protection agency (EPA) acting under the federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (federal Act). The bill provides that a label provides sufficient warning if it complies with any one of three criteria: (1) it was approved by the EPA, (2) it is consistent with the most recent human health assessment performed under the federal Act, or (3) it is consistent with the EPA’s carcinogenicity classification for the pesticide.

Read the full explanation

In each case, the label is sufficient to satisfy any requirements for a warning regarding health or safety under Code chapter 206 (“Pesticide Act of Iowa”), and any other provision of state law or any other common law duty to warn.
