SALEM, Ore. - The Oregon House of Representatives approved SB 637, a legislative measure billed as protecting children from exposure to pesticides in Oregon’s schools. Already passed in the Oregon Senate, the House vote of 41-14 now sends the bill to the Senate for a concurrence vote, then to Governor Ted Kulongoski for signing into law.
The law will require public and private Oregon K-12 schools and community colleges to adopt integrated pest management plans. The bill also authorizes governing bodies to adopt, improve or continue any integrated pest management plan that provides protection against pesticide exposure equal to or greater than protections required by the bill. Additionally, the bill makes public pesticide applicator license requirements applicable to pesticide applications at school campuses.
