On Tuesday April 5th, the assembly committee on Environmental Safety and Toxic Materials held a hearing to discuss AB 2146 that would ban the use of neonics for non-agricultural use in the state. Members of the PCOC testified in opposition of the bill. The committee did vote to pass the bill on to the appropriations committee, but our members and industry partners have scheduled a meeting with the sponsor of the legislation to advocate for some key exemptions to be added into the bill.
