The new digital forms site can be accessed through the same website as before, www.npmaforms.com. For questions on purchasing NPMA forms or the new NPMA forms website, contact Michael Bentley at MBentley@pestworld.org. Please direct all questions or concerns regarding the updated NPMA-33 form to Jim Fredericks at jfredericks@pestworld.org These 2019 guidelines were developed with the NPMA Commercial Committee as a resource for pest management professionals that provide service to the retail food service industry. This guidance is comprised of three sections that all interact together – record-keeping, communication, and integrated pest management. This guide will help develop a true partnership between the pest control operator and the restaurant or food service client to provide excellent service.
Heard From the HillNPMA sent in a letter of support for S. 1657 The Ticks: Identify, Control, and Knockout Act (TICK Act) prior to a markup yesterday in the Senate Committee on Health, Education, Labor and Pensions. Sen. Susan Collins (R-ME) is the lead sponsor, and during the markup she received a committee vote to rename the Act in honor of former Sen. Kay Hagan (D-NC) who died this week of complications brought on from a tick borne illness. S. 1675 is now known as the Kay Hagan TICK Act. NPMA’s letter of support was entered into the Congressional record, as was the letter NPMA signed on to from the Vector Borne Disease Network. The bill was marked up with bipartisan support and will move to the Senate for a full vote at some point in the future. The TICK Act is the first bill marked up, and you can watch the entire markup here.
On October 30, 2019, MI SPAR Bill Welsh and Rose Pest Solutions District Manager, Mike Rogers testified on HB 5024 and 5025 in the Michigan House Local Government and Municipal Finance Committee. The bills were introduced as a way to assist local governments in Michigan to combat mosquito-borne diseases including, Eastern Equine Encephalitis (EEE), given the recent outbreaks experienced in various parts of Michigan. Our industry is very supportive of the measure, as it is a great way protect to public health and it positions our industry as a private-sector solution to this problem. Bill and Mike’s testimony advocated for all forms of mosquito control services that our members perform. The bill is expected to move out of Committee, and we will keep members apprised of developments.
