Glyphosate: prohibition on sale.
Summary
Existing law regulates the use of pesticides and authorizes the Director of Pesticide Regulation to adopt regulations to govern the possession, sale, or use of specified pesticides, as prescribed. Existing law provides that the regulation of pesticides is of statewide concern and that the state occupies the whole field of regulation regarding the registration, sale, transportation, or use of pesticides to the exclusion of all local regulation. This bill would prohibit, on and after January 1, 2028, the sale of a product that contains glyphosate in this state, except to a person or business that holds a valid license or certificate issued by the Department of Pesticide Regulation. The bill would require the department to levy a civil penalty of $100 for each violation of this prohibition.

SB89
MINOR
No substantive policy changes between these two versions. The legislative text of SB 89 is identical in both: it prohibits the sale of glyphosate-containing products in California on and after January 1, 2028, with an exception for licensed individuals or businesses, and imposes a $100 civil penalty per violation. The differences are entirely in document formatting and presentation - one version uses a traditional legislative layout with line numbers while the other appears to be a web-rendered version with navigation elements.
