AB 1963: Limiting exposure to pesticides

California's agricultural abundance includes more than 400 commodities and the state produces nearly half of U.S. grown fruits, nuts, and vegetables. To handle all of these goods requires a vast number of farm workers; workers who are often exposed to harmful chemicals. AB 1963 (Nava) improves the pesticide poisoning prevention program by having laboratories send test results electronically that can be shared with state agencies which can then provide medical and toxicological support for local doctors and officials working to mitigate contamination.
