HB 1020 Missouri House · 2025 Regular Session

Prohibits the use of any glyphosate or any insecticide belonging to the neonicotinoid class of pesticides

HB 1020 prohibits the use of glyphosate (a common weedkiller) and neonicotinoid insecticides (a specific class of pesticides) for any application using equipment starting January 1, 2026. It directly affects farmers, landscapers, and others who apply these pesticides commercially. The bill allows existing stock purchased before 2026 to be used, imposes civil penalties up to $25,000 for violations (with fines directed to the local school district), and permits the Department of Agriculture to suspend licenses for repeated offenses. Violations after 2025 will be enforced through departmental penalties and court action.
