WASHINGTON - House Committee on Agriculture Chairman Glenn "GT" Thompson (PA-15) issued the following statement today in response to the U.S. Supreme Court's crop protection tool labeling ruling:
"Today's Supreme Court decision reaffirms the importance of the clear, consistent, and science-based national framework for pesticide labeling, which was laid out by Congress in the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act. A predictable, science-based regulatory system is essential to supporting agricultural productivity, innovation, and public confidence in the national pesticide regulatory system."
