Definition for restricted pesticide handler added, and restricted pesticide license requirements for handlers modified.

HF 2898 clarifies who qualifies as a "restricted pesticide handler" in Minnesota and modifies related licensing rules. The bill adds a specific definition for "handler" as someone meeting federal requirements (40 CFR § 171.201) who performs preapplication tasks like mixing and loading restricted pesticides under a licensed applicator’s supervision. It updates Minnesota Statutes sections 18B.01 and 18B.30 to explicitly state that handlers - not full applicators - may conduct these specific tasks when supervised. This change aligns state rules with federal standards and clarifies responsibilities for pesticide handling activities.
