Bill overview
The Saving America’s Pollinators Act of 2021 aims to protect pollinators, particularly bees, by addressing the use of neonicotinoid pesticides. It establishes a Pollinator Protection Board to review pesticide risks and recommends cancellation of neonicotinoid registrations. The bill also mandates a rapid response to protect native bees, including immediate cancellation of neonicotinoid sales and registration, and requires ongoing monitoring of pollinator populations. Finally, it establishes a process for granting limited exemptions for neonicotinoid use in specific emergency situations.
