The bill next goes before the State Senate and if approved, goes to the governor for signing.
The measure includes the mandatory disclosure of what people are being exposed to, no spray zones around schools, and a state wide ban on the use of a neurotoxin called chlorpyrifos.
However, opponents of the bill claim pesticides are safe, if used according to the instructions.
