The Arizona Assess and Regulate Agricultural Chemicals Initiative was not on the ballot in Arizona as an initiated state statute on November 6, 2018.
The measure would have directed the Associate Director of Agriculture (ADA) to perform health risk assessments and analyses on agricultural pesticides to determine their impact on humans, domestic animals, and agricultural pollinators. The measure would have also suspended the use of neonicotinoid insecticides until and unless the ADA determined they do not have unreasonable adverse effects on pollinators. The ADA would have also been tasked with monitoring and protecting the long-term viability of native bees and other pollinators.[1]
