In compliance with Assembly Bill 2113, the California DPR has released a new report on how it is making its pesticide reevaluation process more efficient.
“Reevaluation is one tool in DPR’s Continuous Evaluation and Mitigation program,” A release from the California DPR stated. “It gives the department authority to require pesticide companies to develop and submit scientific studies when important data is missing, and then to use those results to evaluate risks and put any necessary protective measures in place. AB 2113 requires DPR to initiate one reevaluation per year, increasing to two per year beginning in 2029.”
DPR has also updated its public Continuous Evaluation and Mitigation tracker, noting that as of June 2026 the department has 7 reevaluations, 2 risk assessments, and 10 mitigation efforts underway. The report can be found here. — Story contributed by the California Department of Pesticide Regulation
