An Act To Require Notification Of Certain Outdoor Pesticide Applications

LD 356 requires anyone applying outdoor pesticides within 500 feet of another property to provide written notice to the property owner, lessee, or occupant at least seven days before application. This applies to ground-based pesticide use but excludes aerial applications. The bill also adds specific rules prohibiting unsafe handling, storage, or disposal of pesticides that could harm people, pets, crops, or waterways. It directly affects pesticide applicators and nearby residents, aiming to improve public awareness and safety.
