Local plant pest control resolutions and ordinances scope modified, and existing ordinance modification required.

HF 1636 modifies local plant pest control regulations to require new transparency and equity measures. It mandates that local rules allowing inspections of properties (other than single-family homes) must require inspectors to contact owners in person first, and rules for pest removal must include annual equity plans, multilingual notices, 180 days for property owners to act, and itemized cost details. Cities of the first class must update their existing plant pest control rules by September 1, 2025, to comply. This bill directly affects local governments creating these rules and property owners subject to inspections or removal requirements.
