Pesticides: schoolsites.

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. Existing law requires each schoolsite to maintain records of all pesticide use at the schoolsite for a period of 4 years and to make this information available to the public, as provided. Existing law requires a schoolsite that chooses to use a pesticide not listed as exempt from these provisions to submit to the Director of Pesticide Regulation a copy of the records of all pesticide use at the schoolsite for the calendar year, as provided, that includes specified information. This bill would require those records to additionally include licensure or certification information for the individual who applied the pesticide, including, but not limited to, the name of the licensing board or agency that issued the license or certification, but not including that individual's name or the name of their employer, if any.
