Pesticide Operations Amendment Act of 2023

This bill amends the Pesticide Operations Act of 1977 to clarify that the District of Columbia Mayor has the authority to create categories and subcategories for private pesticide applicators. Currently, the law only allows the Mayor to establish such classifications for commercial applicators, so this change expands that power to include private users as well. By updating the relevant section of the existing statute, the legislation ensures that regulations can be tailored specifically to both groups of pesticide handlers. The act takes effect after receiving final approval from the Mayor and completing the required congressional review period.
