This bill proposes the creation of a new section in chapter 28-01.3 of the North Dakota Century Code, specifically addressing pesticide labeling. It establishes that any pesticide registered with the agriculture commissioner or the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) that displays an approved label will meet the necessary requirements for health and safety warnings. The bill emphasizes that if the label is consistent with the most recent human health assessment or the EPA's carcinogenicity classification, it will fulfill any state law obligations regarding warnings or labeling.

The new legal language clarifies that compliance with federal labeling standards will exempt pesticide manufacturers from additional state requirements related to the duty to warn or label. This aims to streamline the regulatory process for pesticide labeling by aligning state law with federal standards, thereby reducing potential legal liabilities for manufacturers who adhere to these established guidelines.
