Bans pesticides and pesticide ingredients that were made in China
HB 1422 prohibits the use of pesticides and pesticide ingredients manufactured in the People's Republic of China within Missouri. This law directly affects farmers, agricultural businesses, and pesticide applicators who currently use such products in the state. The key mechanism is a clear ban on any pesticide or ingredient produced in China from being sold, distributed, or applied in Missouri. The bill does not address pesticides made elsewhere or include exemptions for specific uses.
