In response to state efforts to hijack FIFRA labeling requirements, South Dakota Representative Dusty Johnson has introduced the Agricultural Labeling Uniformity Act, H.R. 4288. The bill would require uniformity in national pesticide labeling and prohibit any state or subdivision or court from imposing requirements that were inconsistent with federal requirements under FIFRA. The bill language can be found here: https://www.congress.gov/118/bills/hr4288/BILLS-118hr4288ih.pdf
In response to the introduction of the Act, Crop Life America CEO Chris Novak wrote an excellent op-ed that was published in The Hill that explains how federal label preemption is essential to ensure that farmers have access to the tools they need to feed the planet.
