Pesticides from treated seeds addition to the Commissioner of Agriculture's pesticide management plan requirements; appropriating money
SF 3083 requires Minnesota's Commissioner of Agriculture to update the state's pesticide management plan to include pesticides from treated seeds and their breakdown products in groundwater and surface water monitoring. The bill mandates new labeling for certain pesticide-treated seeds, establishes a program for systemic pesticides (pesticides absorbed by plants and spread through plant tissue), and broadens coordination to include local governments and public health agencies in plan development. It also adds requirements for monitoring pesticide contamination in air quality and increases penalties for pesticide damage to state outdoor recreation lands. The bill appropriates funds to support these new monitoring, labeling, and program requirements.
