Hawaii HB1766 amends pesticide reporting requirements to improve public health and environmental protection.

Hawaii HB1766 aims to enhance the protection of public health and the environment by improving the reporting requirements for restricted use pesticides. The bill mandates quarterly reporting instead of annual reporting, requiring more detailed information including geospatial data within a one square mile area, the amount of product and chemicals applied, and the location of application. The Department of Agriculture and Biosecurity is tasked with developing an online reporting tool and producing public summaries by county.
