| TO: | Honorable Rick Hardcastle, Chair, House Committee on Agriculture & Livestock |
| FROM: | John Keel, Director, Legislative Budget Board |
| IN RE: | SB759 by Brimer (Relating to certain pesticide application by persons engaged in pest control work for a political subdivision.), Committee Report 2nd House, Substituted |
The bill would authorize a political subdivision to reduce the number of hours of training or other requirements for an employee using certain biological pesticides for larval mosquito control on property owned or controlled by the political subdivision, provided the employee is given instructions that are adequate to ensure the safe and effective use of the pesticides.
The bill would take effect June 1, 2003 if it receives a two-thirds vote in each house; otherwise, it would take effect September 1, 2003.
If a political subdivision were to reduce the number of hours of training, the subdivision could experience an insignificant savings in training costs.
