HB 1267 (Nelson/McKeel) and SB 2352 (Aronberg/Baker) address the use of consumer fertilizers. Both bills require local governments to adopt the model ordinance recommended by the Consumer Fertilizer Task Force if the local government is planning to regulate consumer fertilizer use. On April 22nd SB 2352 was temporarily postponed by the Senate Community Affairs Committee, effectively killing the bill for this year.
