This bill removes the requirement that people knowingly or willfully violate pesticide laws in order to be penalized, meaning violations can now occur even if unintentional. The changes apply to selling adulterated or misbranded pesticides and distributing unregistered pesticides or those that don't match their registration claims. This makes it easier for the state to enforce pesticide regulations without having to prove someone acted on purpose.
