Prognosis

Not enough signal yet

Not enough signal yet to read this bill's trajectory — we surface a likelihood only once there's real movement (stage, sponsorship, committee, or votes) to point to.

Based on stage, sponsorship breadth, committee status, recorded votes, and cross-state momentum — a description of the observable signals, not a prediction.

Summary

Existing law requires the Director of Pesticide Regulation to conduct a pesticide residue monitoring program for produce destined for processing to determine which pesticides are most likely to leave a residue and to what extent it is necessary to monitor the produce. Existing law requires the director to continuously interpret the results of the pesticide residue monitoring program in order to assess its general effectiveness at preventing public exposure to illegal pesticide residues, to release comprehensive summaries of the results of the pesticide residue monitoring program, and to identify in the reports the specific county where unprocessed agricultural foods have been discovered to contain illegal pesticide residue levels, the specific commodity, and the county where the commodity was produced, as specified. This bill would make nonsubstantive changes to that latter provision.
