What this bill does

Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau

Under current law, certain persons who use pesticides must be licensed by the

Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection (DATCP). The licensing

requirement does not apply to a veterinarian or a veterinary technician who uses a

pesticide in the course of his or her practice, but a veterinary clinic at which

pesticides are repackaged or used must have a veterinary clinic permit issued by

DATCP.

This bill eliminates the requirement that a veterinary clinic at which pesticides

are repackaged or used have a veterinary clinic permit issued by DATCP.

Current law requires the Veterinary Examining Board to promulgate rules

requiring training and continuing education sufficient to assure competency of

veterinarians and veterinary technicians in the use and disposal of pesticides. This

bill generally prohibits the board from requiring training and continuing education

concerning the use and disposal of pesticides.
