The California Department of Pesticide Regulation is a state government agency tasked with protecting human health and the environment through safer pest management and a robust regulatory framework. It registers pesticides sold or used in California and conducts pre- and post-registration scientific evaluations to assess potential harms to people and the environment in air and water. It enforces pesticide use laws and regulations in coordination with county agricultural commissioners and their field inspectors, and it provides outreach to workers, farmworkers, and local communities to share safety information. Based in Sacramento, the department operates as a mid-sized public agency within the government administration sector. Its primary customers include pesticide manufacturers, distributors, and users in California, as well as farmworkers and local communities seeking pesticide safety information. The DPR maintains online resources with registration, licensing, enforcement data, and pest-management guidance, supporting evidence-based regulatory action aimed at safer and more sustainable pest control.
