AB 2587: Food and agriculture: pesticide residue monitoring program.
This bill aims to improve the pesticide residue monitoring program in California. The program, currently mandated by law, is intended to determine which pesticides are most likely to leave a residue on produce and assess the effectiveness of monitoring. The law requires the program's results to be released in comprehensive summaries, which include information on the county where unprocessed foods have been found to contain illegal pesticide residue levels, the type of commodity, and the county where it was produced. This bill makes nonsubstantive changes to the latter provision, aiming to enhance the transparency and effectiveness of the monitoring program.
