Summary
Starting Jan. 1, 2029, it will be illegal to sell or use corn, soybean or wheat seed coated with neonicotinoid pesticides unless the Illinois Department of Agriculture grants a waiver. Farmers can receive a waiver for up to two years if they complete pest‑management training, conduct a risk assessment, plant only on designated land and keep records. The law also orders a study of alternative pest controls and sets civil fines for violations.
