Farmworker Pesticide Safety Act

This bill addresses the administration of the Pesticide Registration Fund under the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA).

Under the bill, any amounts collected for FIFRA violations must be deposited to be used as part of the fund.

The bill prescribes how the fund must be used for FY2021-FY2023, including by instructing the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) to utilize a certain amount of money from specified parts of the fund for partnership grants, the pesticide safety education program, and scientific and regulatory activities relating to worker protection.

Finally, the bill requires the EPA to include in its annual report a comprehensive statement of fund expenditures and deposits into the fund that come from amounts collected for FIFRA violations.
