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 is deemed to meet the necessary requirements for health and safety warnings. This includes labels that are consistent with the most recent human health assessments or carcinogenicity classifications under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act.

The bill effectively provides a legal defense for pesticide manufacturers by stating that compliance with federal labeling standards satisfies any state law requirements regarding warnings or labeling. This means that if a pesticide's label is approved by the EPA and aligns with federal assessments, it will not be subject to additional state-level labeling obligations or common law duties to warn.
