Chemigation
CHEMIGATION – Amends existing law to revise provisions regarding pesticide and chemigation applicators and licensing, chemical suppliers, and inspections.

RS31221 / H0549

This legislation will streamline requirements for chemigation applicators. Idaho law currently aligns licensing for all pesticide application types with federal regulation, even though the federal regulation does not mandate chemigation licensing. This legislation will decouple chemigation from the federal licensing structure and allow Idaho to implement a state structure developed with our farmers and applicators.

This legislation causes no additional expenditure of funds at the state or local level of government nor does it cause an increase or decrease in revenue for state or local government therefore the legislation has no fiscal impact.
