Summary
Existing law, the Healthy Schools Act of 2000, requires that the preferred method of managing pests at schoolsites, as defined, is to use effective, least-toxic pest management practices and requires schoolsites to maintain records of all pesticides used at the schoolsite for a period of 4 years. Existing law requires schools to provide all staff and parents or guardians of pupils enrolled at a school written notification of, among other things, expected pesticide use at that schoolsite. These provisions also require the Department of Pesticide Regulation to establish an integrated pest management training program in order to facilitate the adoption of a model integrated pest management program and least-hazardous pest control practices by schoolsites. This bill would enact the Healthy Schools Act of 2012. The bill would prohibit the indoor and outdoor use of pesticides on a schoolsite, except as specified, unless a local public health officer determines that a public health emergency exists requiring emergency application of a pesticide.
