HB3844

PESTICIDES-OPERATOR REGULATION

Chamber Passed·4/10/25

Illinois HB3844 amends the Illinois Pesticide Act to redefine and regulate pesticide operators.

HB3844 amends the Illinois Pesticide Act by replacing the definition of "licensed operator" with "licensed large-scale operator" and "licensed small-scale operator." It mandates that the Director of Agriculture issue separate certification tests for these operators based on rules set by the Department of Agriculture. The bill also outlines unlawful acts related to pesticide use, including making false claims, applying ineffective pesticides, and using pesticides in a negligent manner. Additionally, it specifies fees for commercial operator licenses, late applications, and duplicate licenses.
