HB 19-BAN NEONICOTINOID PESTICIDES
2:06:44 PM
CO-CHAIR JOSEPHSON announced that the first order of business
would be HOUSE BILL NO. 19, "An Act limiting the application of
neonicotinoid pesticides."
2:07:08 PM
REPRESENTATIVE DRUMMOND, speaking as the sponsor of HB 19,
remarked:
One in three bites of food we eat relies on
pollinators. Alaska's primary pollinators are native
bumble bees; the diversity of native bees in Alaska is
astonishing. About 4,000 different species have been
cataloged in North America, and of those, 49 are found
in Alaska. Bumble bees are the most prominent of
those and are excellent pollinators, especially of
Alaska's berry species .... More than 9 million
European honeybees are imported into Alaska each year
for honey production. These bees play a significant
role in pollinating Alaska's crops and wildlands.
Alaskan beekeepers are starting to overwinter bees in
order to develop heartier Alaskan bee stock.
Bee populations have been in an alarming decline since
2006, in many parts of the world. For the first time
this year, a bumble bee species in the United States
was declared endangered by the U. S. Fish and Wildlife
Service. Widespread use of a relatively new class of
toxic pesticide, neonicotinoids, is a significant
contributing factor. In addition to killing bees
outright, research has shown that even low levels of
neonicotinoids impair bees' ability to find their way
back to the hive, collect food, produce new queens,
and mount an effective immune response.
This legislation would protect both agriculture and
wild plants that rely on pollinators. The bill aims
to prevent the spread of these pesticides before they
impact Alaskan agriculture. Over two-thirds of the
... farmers involved with the Alaska Grown program
grow crops that depend on bees for pollination. So,
in spirit of Co-Chair Tarr's third annual Food
Security Week, we introduce this bill, not only to
protect Alaska's pollinators but to protect Alaska's
growing agricultural industry.
2:09:37 PM
CO-CHAIR TARR moved to adopt the proposed committee substitute
(CS) for HB 19, Version 30-LS0219\D, Nauman, 3/8/17, as the
working document.
CO-CHAIR JOSEPHSON objected for discussion purposes.
2:10:03 PM
JOANNA SCHULTZ, Staff, Representative Harriett Drummond, Alaska
State Legislature, on behalf of Representative Drummond, prime
sponsor of HB 19, informed the committee the main difference
between the original version of the bill and Version D is that
under Version D, if [neonicotinoid] pesticides are used, then
[the treated seeds, foliage, or soil], must remain in the
greenhouse for the remainder of their life span. In addition,
the bill exempts certified pesticide applicators and allows
certified pesticide "users" to continue using pesticides outside
or inside a greenhouse. In response to Co-Chair Josephson, she
clarified that [under Version D], anything the pesticides have
been used on must stay in a greenhouse.
2:11:20 PM
REPRESENTATIVE RAUSCHER said he has heard that bees are dying
around the world and he asked whether there is evidence that is
currently happening in Alaska.
REPRESENTATIVE DRUMMOND replied that it is not happening in
Alaska yet, because the neonicotinoid class of pesticides is not
widely used in Alaska at this time. The goal of the proposed
legislation is to prevent the bees in Alaska, which are mostly
wild pollinators, from being impacted by the use of
neonicotinoid pesticides.
REPRESENTATIVE RAUSCHER questioned how bee activity is recorded
in Alaska.
REPRESENTATIVE DRUMMOND answered through the Department of
Environmental Conservation.
2:13:21 PM
REPRESENTATIVE RAUSCHER restated his question as to how the
state will know whether the use of the pesticide has affected
bees in Alaska.
2:13:58 PM
CHRISTINA CARPENTER, Director, Division of Environmental Health,
Department of Environmental Conservation (DEC), answered that
DEC is not directly tracking bee kill-off in Alaska, but the
department works with its counterparts in other states to track
those bee kill-offs throughout the nation and also works with
the U. S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA).
2:14:59 PM
REPRESENTATIVE WESTLAKE asked whether there are any unintended
consequences Ms. Carpenter has seen in other states from using
neonicotinoid pesticides.
MS. CARPENTER offered to provide the committee with some
examples.
2:16:05 PM
REPRESENTATIVE DRUMMOND concluded her presentation of HB 19 by
warning that the legislature needs to stop the spread of
neonicotinoid pesticides to prevent their widespread use in
Alaska.
2:16:23 PM
CO-CHAIR JOSEPHSON observed the bill directs that the use of the
pesticides would have to be entirely within a greenhouse and
whatever is being grown would have to stay in the greenhouse.
He asked, "Is the idea that if a private person wants to take a
risk with exposure, that's up to the individual?"
REPRESENTATIVE DRUMMOND indicated yes. She clarified that the
bill references commercial greenhouses and pointed out it is
unknown whether seedlings coming up from the Lower 48 have been
pretreated with neonicotinoids. Large home improvement stores
and stores such as Fred Meyer, sell thousands of seedlings that
are grown elsewhere, and Alaska has no control over how they've
been treated unless they come from a state that forbids the use
of neonicotinoids. Furthermore, some states may not forbid use
in a greenhouse where some seedlings are started; the goal of
the legislation is to keep use of the pesticides from spreading
in Alaska. Representative Drummond explained that use by an
individual in his/her own backyard may not seem significant;
however, bees spend the summer in her backyard and she does not
want to expose them to neonicotinoids. Representative Drummond
described the legislation as a contribution to a much larger
effort.
2:18:26 PM
REPRESENTATIVE PARISH asked where else this ban has been
enforced, and to what effect.
MS. SCHULTZ offered her understanding that Maryland passed a ban
last year that focuses on the restriction of sales rather than
on usage, and the state will allow existing products to be sold
for two years before the ban takes full effect. In addition,
certain cities have enacted bans, for example, Portland and
Eugene, Oregon, and Spokane, Washington.
REPRESENTATIVE PARISH asked whether there have been any efforts
internationally.
MS. SCHULTZ said the European Union, in 2013, enacted a ban and
has been reviewing the ban either last year or this year.
REPRESENTATIVE PARISH asked whether the European Union has seen
any effects on the bee population since enacting the ban.
MS. SCHULTZ said she has not seen studies but surmised that is
because they are still in the process of being conducted. She
added, "But that was the goal of the ... ban, so that they could
really see if it ... made a difference."
2:20:09 PM
CO-CHAIR JOSEPHSON expressed his understanding that Minnesota is
a cutting-edge jurisdiction, in terms of banning some of these
pesticides. He asked whether other states ban at least some
classes of pesticides.
MS. SCHULTZ agreed Minnesota has been working on some related
legislation, but only Maryland passed legislation to ban the
sale of neonicotinoids, [with the exemption to] certified
pesticide applicators.
2:20:48 PM
REPRESENTATIVE BIRCH inquired as to the availability of the
neonicotinoid pesticides.
2:21:14 PM
REPRESENTATIVE DRUMMOND advised [neonicotinoid pesticides] are
already available in the retail market. She said she is unsure
whether or how professional applicators are using
[neonicotinoid] pesticides. She related that her staff
contacted all the growers in Alaska that were available for
comment and none of them are using [neonicotinoid pesticides].
Notwithstanding that, she remarked that anyone can go to [Alaska
Mill Feed & Garden Center] and purchase products that include
neonicotinoid pesticides.
REPRESENTATIVE BIRCH asked if there is a brand name to look for
in the list of ingredients on a particular product.
REPRESENTATIVE DRUMMOND answered that there are a number of
these classes of pesticides.
REPRESENTATIVE BIRCH explained his consideration is for the
average customer walking into a store to buy a pest killer, not
the professionals that "know what they're doing." He asked
again if there is a brand name to identify.
REPRESENTATIVE DRUMMOND answered, "Bayer is one of them." She
said that until she learned about neonicotinoid pesticides, she
had been unaware she was applying them to her plants for many
years. She described the product as expensive - about $150 for
1.5 gallons. She said she limits her use of the product she
bought [containing neonicotinoid pesticides] to only when she
sees aphids. She explained that the products are not supposed
to be used when plants are flowering, because that is when bees
come to the plants to pollenate them. She said the average user
may not follow the rules, but commercial users are exempt
because they are supposed to be applying the pesticide at the
appropriate time in the plants' cycles.
REPRESENTATIVE BIRCH asked if the pesticide used to obliterate
wasps can also damage bees.
REPRESENTATIVE DRUMMOND answered that she is not sure, but she
noted that there are some wasps in the pollinator class. She
added, "But if you're just attacking wasps, I can't imagine that
it's going to impact flowers nearby."
2:25:43 PM
REPRESENTATIVE RAUSCHER questioned whether wasps, bees, and
bumblebees are all the same classification of insect.
REPRESENTATIVE DRUMMOND said she doesn't know. Notwithstanding
that, she related that the 49 pollinators identified in Alaska
include not only bees of various types, but also wasps and
certain varieties of flies.
2:27:13 PM
ROB CARTER, Manager, Plant Materials Center (PMC), Division of
Agriculture, Department of Natural Resources (DNR), offered that
most [pesticides], including neonicotinoid pesticides, are not
selective: "They will kill things." In response to a follow-up
question from Representative Rauscher, he said he would not
state that the pesticides kill "all" insects. He said, "I will
say that ... these do have significant impact on a large
majority of the insects out there. That is their intention and
that is their use and why they were created."
2:27:45 PM
REPRESENTATIVE RAUSCHER remarked that wasps eat aphids. He
offered his understanding that wasps had been brought into
Alaska for that specific purpose. He asked, "So, if these are
on the plant, the aphids are there, and the wasp eats the aphid,
then what's the deal?"
2:27:56 PM
MR. CARTER answered that wasps and bees are in the same kingdom,
phylum, and class, but are in a different suborder. He
confirmed there are parasitic wasps that attack aphids. He said
[neonicotinoid pesticides] also kill aphids, but he does not
know if a wasp would be affected by eating an aphid that had fed
on a plant that had been treated with a neonicotinoid pesticide.
2:29:55 PM
REPRESENTATIVE WESTLAKE said he applauds HB 19, but he expressed
concern about unintended consequences. He questioned whether
the proposed legislation might result in a situation in which
there are trees along a highway being killed by pests, but "we
can't do anything about it."
2:30:32 PM
MS. SCHULTZ pointed out that Version D would not ban the
application of neonicotinoid pesticides by certified
applicators, which generally would be the ones treating a pest
invasion alongside a highway.
2:31:06 PM
CO-CHAIR TARR noted that she is a botanist who has worked on
this issue for about 20 years. She opined that the changes in
Version D are reasonable, because most of the concern about the
application of [neonicotinoid pesticides] is in regard to those
individuals who are untrained and over apply the product or use
it under the wrong conditions. Limiting the use of
neonicotinoid pesticides to commercially trained applicators
manages "improper application in the environment" as well as
protecting the applicators from any unnecessary exposure.
2:32:01 PM
CO-CHAIR JOSEPHSON expressed his support of HB 19 and his
concern regarding the health of the bee population in the U.S.
He stated his assumption that the proposed legislation pertains
to healthy ecosystems, but surmised it may also link to economic
systems in Alaska. He asked the bill sponsor to explain "why
bees are important in that respect."
REPRESENTATIVE DRUMMOND answered that over two-thirds of the
farmers in the Alaska Grown program depend upon bees to
pollinate their crops. She reemphasized the proportion of the
world's food that relies on pollination. She stated, "There are
billions of bees that are bred and moved around in the world of
agriculture to be there at the appropriate time for pollinating
those particular crops. It's a huge industry in the Lower 48."
CO-CHAIR JOSEPHSON drew attention to the fiscal note. He noted
that he is not a legislator who subscribes to the idea that in
tough fiscal times no legislation should ever cost anything. He
invited the bill sponsor to comment on the fiscal note.
REPRESENTATIVE DRUMMOND replied that she is having difficulty
believing that DEC needs "one entire person to track a single
pesticide" when it is already tracking a number of other
chemicals. She added, "But it's hard for me to question the
professionals in this manner."
2:34:04 PM
MS. SCHULTZ pointed out that the fiscal note aligns with the
original bill version; therefore, it does not include "the
certified applicators piece." She said, "That may and should
lower the fiscal note."
2:34:24 PM
REPRESENTATIVE PARISH questioned why the bill sponsor chose to
focus on the application rather than sale of [neonicotinoid
pesticides]. He said studies have shown that [neonicotinoid
pesticides] can also kill birds and potentially mammals and
fish, as well.
2:35:00 PM
CO-CHAIR TARR, based on her experience with similar legislation
in the past, imparted that "you cannot ban the sale, because it
violates the U.S. Constitution Interstate Commerce Clause." The
choice, she explained, is to limit how the product is used in
Alaska.
2:35:27 PM
CO-CHAIR JOSEPHSON noted that last year, on the federal level,
there was a "fairly controversial" bipartisan effort regarding
"further restrictions on chemicals and that sort of thing."
MS. SCHULTZ, after ascertaining that Co-Chair Josephson had been
referring to Maryland, offered her understanding that "they have
restricted where you can purchase these pesticides; so, you can
purchase neonicotinoid pesticides where you can also purchase
restricted use pesticides." She said she is not aware of any
stores in Alaska that "strictly sell restricted use pesticides."
2:36:26 PM
REPRESENTATIVE RAUSCHER mentioned that beekeepers are concerned
about [neonicotinoid pesticides], and he said he wants to learn
as much as possible about the issue before voting on the
proposed legislation. He referred to reading material that
states that a single kernel of corn treated with neonicotinoid
pesticides can kill a songbird that ingests it and "as little as
one-tenth of a coated kernel seed per day during egg-laying
season can impair reproduction..." He questioned how weather
such as rain or snow may affect the strength or neonicotinoid
pesticides on plants and whether there could be runoff that
could affect other plants.
MS. SCHULTZ stated that she is not an expert. Notwithstanding
that, she offered her understanding that the chemicals enter the
plant and end up in the pollen that is collected by the bees.
2:39:35 PM
CO-CHAIR JOSEPHSON imparted to anyone curious about the issue
that the proper federal law to look at is the Federal
Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act (FIFRA), which he
offered his understanding had not recently been amended. He
added, "It was TOSCA, which was the Toxic Chemicals Act that was
just..."
CO-CHAIR JOSEPHSON opened public testimony on HB 19.
2:40:14 PM
DAVID OTNESS expressed appreciation that the issue before the
committee is being addressed. He opined that the onus should be
on the manufacturers of pesticides to first prove that they are
not harmful. He said [neonicotinoid pesticides] have been
linked as the source of "massive die-offs." He characterized
neonicotinoid pesticides as a powerful poison, and he offered
his understanding that they are derived from the tobacco plant,
which in itself is a powerful drug. He concluded, "Before
things get to the point where there could be conflicts of people
wanting to use this on a commercial scale, I think it's
excellent that we address it proactively right now and sort of
take that attitude with much of what we're facing ahead of us
here. I think it would ... clarify a lot of things for the
public, and also those who might want to use it to begin with."
2:42:15 PM
LOUIS TOZZI noted that he had sent an e-mail to the committee,
but would address a few important points today. Regarding the
threat neonicotinoid pesticides have on bees, he explained that
the biggest issue is that neonicotinoid pesticides are systemic;
all tissue of the plants - including the nectar and pollen -
pick up and retain the pesticides, which "makes the plant itself
a pesticide." Bees gather nectar, which has low levels of the
pesticide, but in the process of making honey from that nectar,
water evaporates, which essentially has the effect of
concentrating [the neonicotinoid pesticides]. Mr. Tozzi advised
that because neonicotinoid pesticides are long-lived, they tend
to last in the plant for the entire life of the plant. He said,
"So while applying them when the plant is blooming is an issue,
it ... could have been applied much sooner than that and it
still presents an impact to the honey bees."
MR. TOZZI directed attention to language in the bill that read,
"applied to the soil in granular form". He advised this is a
big problem, because "it creates a loophole where a farmer who
purchases ... or greenhouse person who purchases treated seed
from ... outside of Alaska could potentially plant that seed
outdoors." He explained this possibility would exist because
the bill language, in only specifying granular form, would not
prevent "a liquid or a seed with a treatment on it."
MR. TOZZI suggested another possible issue is that after
application, these chemicals will often "drift out" as a dry
residue to areas beyond the intended farm fields, and the
neonicotinoid pesticides are readily picked up by the indigenous
plants in the adjacent countryside.
2:46:32 PM
REPRESENTATIVE RAUSCHER asked what Mr. Tozzi's credentials are
regarding [neonicotinoid pesticides].
MR. TOZZI answered that he is a beekeeper and part of a group of
beekeepers working to breed an Alaska-hardy bee so that
beekeeping in Alaska can be more sustainable. He said bees
overwinter in Alaska, but not without much intervention on the
part of beekeepers. He concluded, "And so, I don't have
scientific background other than what I need to know as a
beekeeper."
2:47:43 PM
The committee took a brief at-ease at 2:48 p.m.
2:48:20 PM
CO-CHAIR JOSEPHSON indicated that he would like to hear from Ms.
Carpenter regarding Mr. Tozzi's comment that treated seeds could
be placed outside and thus circumvent a prohibition on the
granular form of [neonicotinoid pesticides].
2:48:50 PM
REPRESENTATIVE RAUSCHER, regarding the systemic nature of
[neonicotinoid pesticides], said he would like to know if there
are other pesticides that are also [systemic]. He further
questioned if the comments about [neonicotinoid pesticides]
becoming part of honey could also apply to other pesticides.
2:49:38 PM
MS. CARPENTER offered to follow up with information.
2:50:09 PM
REPRESENTATIVE BIRCH said he has friends in Fairbanks that are
beekeepers and understands the biggest challenge in
overwintering the bees is in keeping them fed. He asked if bees
are more resistant to one pesticide over another or whether the
problem with the neonicotinoid pesticides is that they are
longer lived.
2:51:17 PM
MR. TOZZI answered that "the pesticides" are long-lived and will
last through winter after being brought back to the hive. He
reiterated his explanation about the evaporation of water from
the honey resulting in a more concentrated level of pesticide.
He said one theory as to the mid-winter disappearance of bees in
the Lower 48 is that the bees, having ingested the pesticide,
which is a neurotoxin, "lose track of where they're supposed to
be and what they're supposed to be doing and then fly off in the
middle of winter." Mr. Tozzi said he has heard anecdotally of
that happening in Alaska, but he said he cannot say that is what
the cause was. Mr. Tozzi noted that the pesticides are also
stored in the beeswax, which is an economic factor, because
"clean beeswax is something that's very difficult to come by."
He said the ongoing low level [of pesticides] to the colonies
makes it much more difficult for them to survive the winter.
2:53:59 PM
PAMELA K. MILLER, Biologist and Executive Director, Alaska
Community Action on Toxics (ACAT), had her written testimony
paraphrased by Patti J. Saunders. Ms. Miller's testimony - a
letter to Representative Drummond dated March 15, 2017,
[included in the committee packet] - read as follows [original
punctuation provided]:
I am writing on behalf of Alaska Community Action on
Toxics, a statewide non-profit environmental health
research and advocacy organization. Thank you for your
introduction of HB 19, "An Act limiting the
application of neonicotinoid pesticides." We strongly
endorse this bill as an important measure to protect
bees and other pollinators so crucial to a majority of
our crops that serve as vital food resources.
Neonicotinoid pesticides have long been associated
with harm to bees and other pollinators. In 2016, the
Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) released the
first risk assessment of neonicotinoid pesticides and
concluded that they can cause significant harm to
honeybees. Increasing independent peer-reviewed
scientific evidence has demonstrated that the
widespread use of the dangerous class of neonicotinoid
pesticides is a factor in the precipitous decline of
bees and other pollinators. Studies have shown serious
adverse effects to bees including navigational
ability, mobility, and reproduction. Even small
exposures to neonicotinoid pesticides can damage bees'
ability to gather pollen, impair their memory and
social behavior, weaken their immune systems, and harm
colony health and longevity. Scientists have shown
that exposure to certain neonicotinoid pesticides
reduces bees' immune defenses, promoting infections
associated with such diseases as deformed wing virus.
Recent scientific studies have shown that chronic
exposure of honeybees to environmental levels of
neonicotinoid pesticides can impair their learning and
memory. Another study reported that wild bees exposed
to neonicotinoid-coated seeds had reduced nesting and
were not successful in building brood cells for new
larvae. In addition, chronic exposure to one of the
most commonly used neonicotinoid pesticides
(imidacloprid) was found to be associated with reduced
brood production, reduced colony growth, and an 85%
reduction in the production of bumblebee queens.
Neonicotinoid pesticides are also found to have
adverse effects on many other non-target and
beneficial organisms, including butterflies, birds,
and aquatic insects. There are also emerging concerns
about the possible adverse neurodevelopmental effects
of neonicotinoid pesticides on children. We believe
the evidence supports the need for urgent legislative
action. We urge swift passage of this bill to suspend
the use of these harmful chemicals in Alaska.
2:57:40 PM
REPRESENTATIVE BIRCH asked how widespread [neonicotinoid
pesticides] are commercially compared to other pesticides.
PATTI J. SAUNDERS, Development Director, Alaska Community Action
on Toxics (ACAT), answered that they are commonly available, but
she has not done the research yet to know the percentages. She
stated, "Just reading the label isn't necessarily going to help
people, because this class of pesticides is not labeled as a
class." For example, someone might see "imidacloprid" may be on
the label, but someone reading that may not realize that it is
[a neonicotinoid pesticide that is killing bees]. She said
education of both sellers and consumers is necessary. She said
she thinks there is already a lot of concern among regarding
neonicotinoid pesticides, and she surmised that Alaskans would
welcome more information about "these endocrine disrupting
pesticides."
2:59:34 PM
CO-CHAIR JOSEPHSON removed his objection to the previous motion
to adopt the proposed committee substitute (CS) for HB 19,
Version 30-LS0219\D, Nauman, 3/8/17, as the working document.
There being no further objection, Version D was before the
committee.
2:59:50 PM
CO-CHAIR JOSEPHSON closed public testimony on HB 19 and
announced that HB 19 was held over.
