AB 405: Protecting schoolchildren from potentially dangerous pesticides

State law allows some pesticides to be registered conditionally without all required data and also allows some experimental uses of pesticides. But these uses should be very narrowly constrained, and certainly should not include routine use at schools, where vulnerable children could be exposed. AB 405 (Montañez) prohibits the use at schools of experimental pesticides, pesticides that are not fully registered, and pesticides whose registration has been cancelled, suspended, or targeted for phase-out.
