MODERATE

The bill was amended to expand pesticide education requirements by adding the Oregon Department of Agriculture as a partner alongside Oregon State University, specifying the Extension Service as the implementing body, and clarifying that the program should be culturally appropriate. The bill also added new sections to complete an online Spanish-language precertification program, repeal an outdated section, and restructured funding allocations to better support these expanded responsibilities.

Scope change

The bill's scope expanded from Oregon State University alone to include both Oregon State University and the State Department of Agriculture, with specific implementation through the Oregon State University Extension Service.

SCOPE

Added the State Department of Agriculture as a partner in developing the Spanish language pesticide education program, expanding the original scope to include two agencies instead of one.

REQUIREMENT

Changed the implementing body from Oregon State University generally to the Oregon State University Extension Service specifically, and added the requirement that the program be culturally appropriate.

Added new requirements to complete and publicize a Spanish language version of the online precertification training program by December 31, 2025.

Added a new $40,000 appropriation for the online precertification program development and modified the existing $744,124 appropriation to be directed to the Extension Service Pesticide Safety Education Program.
