Update on a previous post. Now that the legislature has adjourned, it’s safe to say that the ill-conceived fertilizer related elements of SB 1136 have rightfully been tanked. The bill was referred to a conference committee and the language was removed that limited local government’s from enacting water quality protection ordinances that address fertilizer misuse. This is good news to communities that are trying to protect and clean their local waters through ordinances promoting responsible usage of fertilizers.
