S 1999 Re-checks Congress.gov for new actions and updates the bill's status, and fills in any sponsors, committees, or related bills that are missing. It does not re-pull sponsors/cosponsors/committees/related — those rarely change — and it skips all work if nothing has changed upstream, so it's cheap to click.
To amend the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act to provide for improved coordination between the Administrator of the Environmental Protection Agency and the Secretary of Agriculture, and for other purposes.
Summary
This bill amends pesticide law to require better coordination between the Environmental Protection Agency and the Department of Agriculture. When the EPA makes decisions about pesticide registrations or imposes restrictions, it must consult with USDA, consider agricultural data and alternatives, and publish economic analyses of the costs to farmers and other affected parties. The bill also requires EPA to coordinate with the departments of Agriculture, Interior, and Commerce on pesticide-related endangered species protections.
