This week, NPMA staff met with five cosponsors of HR 7266, which was a 2022 standalone bill that codified state oversight of pesticides at the state level. These offices included Rep. Rick Allen (R-GA-12), Rep. David Rouzer (R-NC-7), Rep. Brad Finstad (R-MN-1), Rep. Barry Loudermilk (R-GA-11), and Rep. Austin Scott (R-GA-8). During these meetings, NPMA staff requested that these Members of Congress submit state-level pesticide preemption as a priority in the House of Representative’s 2023 Farm Bill priorities portal.
