The House Agriculture, Food Resiliency & Forestry committee identified a short‑form bill regulating rodenticides as a likely priority after several members reported constituent interest and a general sense of early unanimity.

Why it matters: the bill would regulate the use of rodenticides, a topic members said has prompted constituent correspondence and local concerns about public and environmental health. Committee members described the measure as one that drew cross‑member support during early discussions and said they would focus on it if the committee picks a single animals‑related bill to advance.

Details: the rodenticide measure was described in the meeting as a short form bill (referenced as 3206 in committee materials). Members said staff can take testimony on the draft and that committee time would be set aside for more detailed drafting if members decide to pursue a committee vote. Several other animal‑related bills were also on the list, including bills on standards for egg‑laying hens and prohibiting animal product testing, but members indicated the rodenticide measure had the most immediate constituent engagement.

Next steps: staff will coordinate testimony opportunities and bring back drafting guidance if the committee opts to produce final language and vote. No formal vote or final decision to advance the bill was recorded in the meeting.
