Plain-language change summary

The bill SB 2602 has been revised to include a broader definition of pests, specifying "structural pests" instead of just "pests." It also changes "contiguous state" to allow for any state, which makes it easier for technicians from all states to apply for certification without having to take an exam. These changes are important because they streamline the certification process for pest control technicians, potentially increasing the number of qualified professionals available and improving pest management services.
