Pesticide Data Transparency Act

This bill changes a federal law about records of restricted-use pesticide applications. It removes the current rule that bars government agencies from releasing pesticide data, including location, that would directly or indirectly reveal the identity of individual farmers or producers. Within 180 days, the Environmental Protection Agency must report to two congressional committees on which records can now be disclosed and how the agency could compile and publish them in a timely way. The bill also bars the EPA from issuing or enforcing any rule or guidance that may prevent or significantly delay public disclosure of these records.
