The proposed amendments to House Bill No. aim to establish a new section in chapter 28-01.3 of the North Dakota Century Code concerning pesticide labeling. The bill introduces a provision that clarifies the responsibilities related to pesticide labeling, specifically stating 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. This includes adherence to the most recent human health assessments and carcinogenicity classifications as determined by the EPA.

Additionally, the bill removes certain legal language that previously indicated that a sufficient warning label was only applicable to actions commenced under specific laws. The new language emphasizes that the approved labels will satisfy any state law requirements regarding the duty to warn or label, thereby streamlining the legal obligations for pesticide manufacturers and ensuring compliance with federal standards.
