VPMA Advocacy Update:
Defending Science-Based Pesticide Regulation in Virginia
House Bill 1375, which proposed banning the herbicide paraquat in Virginia, was continued during the 2026 General Assembly session following testimony and opposition from industry stakeholders, including the Virginia Pest Management Association (VPMA). VPMA advocated for maintaining the Commonwealth’s science-based pesticide regulatory system, emphasizing that pesticide safety decisions should remain under the authority of the EPA and VDACS through established scientific review processes.
