Bill Overview
Analyzed Economic Effects
1 provisions identified: 0 benefits, 0 costs, 1 mixed.
New four-generation pesticide testing rule
If enacted, this bill would require the EPA to rely on comprehensive reproductive toxicity studies that include at least four generations when it sets, changes, keeps, or removes pesticide residue limits. Within 180 days of enactment, the EPA would have to review whether existing tolerance or exemption decisions are supported by those studies. Within 2 years, the EPA would have to send Congress a report listing each decision reviewed, updated, or changed. Pesticide makers would likely need more testing and spend more money, which could affect product availability or prices.
