Summary

Existing law establishes various programs for the prevention of disease and the promotion of health to be administered by the State Department of Public Health, including, but not limited to, programs relating to the reporting of pesticide poisoning. Existing law establishes a program under the jurisdiction of the Department of Food and Agriculture for invasive pest planning, including, but not limited to, invasive pest eradication through aerial spraying of urban areas. This bill would, in the event of an emergency exemption from registration pursuant to the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA) , or a Federal Domestic Quarantine Order issued by the United States Department of Agriculture, prohibit the use of a pesticide in aerial application within or near residential or sensitive sites, as specified, where humans are likely to become exposed to the pesticide unless the manufacturer of the pesticide has previously and voluntarily made the complete ingredient list, including, but not limited to, all inert ingredients, as defined, available to the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment. The bill would require the director to provide a complete list of all ingredients to specified officials and care providers, and would require the director to seek federal reimbursement for all state costs associated with the emergency, as permitted by federal law. This bill would declare that its provisions are severable, and that if any provision or its application is held invalid, the invalidity shall not affect other provisions or applications that can be given effect without the invalid provision or application.
