House Passes Pesticide Registration Bill
USAgNet - 03/27/2017

The U.S. House of Representatives passed H.R. 1029, the Pesticide Registration Enhancement Act of 2017 last week. The measure reauthorizes the Pesticide Registration Improvement Act of 2003.

The current authority for PRIA, the pesticide industry's fee-for-service program, will expire on September 30, 2017. U.S. Rep. Rodney Davis, chairman of the House Agriculture Committee's Subcommittee on Biotechnology, Horticulture, and Research, noted in his announcement of the bill that, "This bipartisan legislation improves PRIA to ensure transparency, consistency, and efficiency remains within the pesticide registration process."

"We are pleased to see undivided support for PRIA, especially in time for National Ag Day," stated Jay Vroom, president and CEO of CropLife America. "Ag Day inspires us to come together, as one national community, to support our farmers and their dedication to keeping farmland productive for generations. Industry, users of pesticides, state and federal regulators, and the NGO community alike have all shown their support for PRIA.

Vroom's group claims that a better funded, stable and predictable Environmental Protection Agency regulatory program represented by PRIA ensures that investment in tomorrow's innovative products can continue.
