This March, National Pest Management Association members will climb Capitol Hill in Washington, DC to meet with their members of Congress at Legislative Day 2020 – providing opportunities to promote the pest management industry and advocate for issues important to us. A key priority for the pest management industry during the 2018 Farm Bill, NPMA continues to push Congress to secure federal preemption. NPMA staff is visiting committees of jurisdiction already to prepare them for your visits during Legislative Day in March. To kick off this lobbying push, NPMA has redesigned our one pager on preemption, available here. Throughout January, NPMA will be releasing our Legislative Day one pagers and will hold a webinar in February to prepare attendees on all of our issues and what expect.
