North Carolina House Bill 828, the Pollinator Protection Act of 2021, would prohibit the distribution, sale, or transport of neonicotinoid pesticides “unless the seller is authorized to sell a restricted use pesticide” by the Pesticide Board. The bill would also prohibit the use of neonicotinoid pesticides unless the person is licensed as an applicator by the Pesticide Board, is a farmer using the pesticide for agricultural purposes, or is a veterinarian using the pesticide in the practice of veterinary medicine.
