Colorado SB 121 Defeated; Preemption Protected
Print this Article | Send to Colleague
NPMA SPARs and CPCA members were out in force to testify against SB 121 on March 3rd. This bill would have removed preemption in Colorado and banned neonics statewide among many other provisions. The hearing lasted around 9 hours and the pest management industry was on of the last to testify. A vote came shortly after 11 PM local time and failed on a vote of 5-1; the only vote being in favor cast by the bill sponsor. This industry did a very compelling job of explaining the devastating impacts that would occur if preemption were removed.
