Pesticide and Pest Control - Revisions to Pesticide Applicator's Law and Repeal of Obsolete Provisions

HB 114 revises Maryland's pesticide applicator regulations by updating requirements for commercial and private pesticide applications, particularly for restricted use pesticides. It clarifies that certified private applicators must ensure non-certified workers meet federal safety standards (40 C.F.R. § 171.201(B)(3)) when applying restricted pesticides under their supervision, and defines liability for certified applicators regarding all pesticide applications. The bill also repeals obsolete provisions related to cyclodiene termiticides (like chlordane) and antifouling paints containing tributyltin. These changes directly affect certified pesticide applicators, private applicators, and their supervised workers in Maryland's agricultural and pest control sectors. The law modernizes oversight without introducing new environmental or economic restrictions.
