SB 6273: Pesticide regulation

Clarifying the department of agriculture's authority.

Summary

  • State authority to regulate pesticides within Washington is complete and no local governing body may adopt regulations regarding pesticide sale or use, with two limited exceptions. Local fire codes may be adopted and structural pest control operators, exterminators, and fumigators may be regulated by counties and cities when these entities are operating within their jurisdictions.
