Environmental Justice Advisory Committee (EJAC)
The Environmental Justice Advisory Committee (EJAC) within the Department of Pesticide Regulation (DPR) will support the department’s inclusion and consideration of diverse perspectives to inform its decision-making processes and foster equitable outcomes for communities most impacted by pest management decisions. This advisory committee, established by AB 652, is tasked with advising DPR on policies and programs that address environmental justice concerns – particularly those of communities living in areas of high pesticide use.
