CSPA & Member Companies are Pleased With PRIA Passing Through the U.S. House of Representatives
March 21, 2017
“CSPA and its member companies are pleased that the U.S. House of Representatives has passed H.R. 1029, the Pesticide Registration Enhancement Act of 2017. This important piece of legislation had strong bipartisan support, and it was also staunchly-backed by industry trade groups, environmental and farm worker groups, and state agricultural regulators. This bill reauthorizes and improves the law that governs the EPA approval process for pesticides used in the U.S. We respectfully urge the Senate to quickly pass this bill because it is crucial that industry continues to bring to the market place EPA-approved public health products, including insecticides, mosquito and tick repellents, disinfectants and sanitizers (antimicrobials). These products are increasingly important to combat the rise of insect-borne disease in the United States, such as the Zika and West Nile viruses.”
