An Act governing the use of pesticides containing the herbicide substance Glyphosate in the Commonwealth

This bill amends Massachusetts law to require that individuals using pesticides containing the herbicide glyphosate must hold a valid license or permit issued by the state department. It applies to both agricultural and non-agricultural uses on any land, meaning homeowners and other non-farmers would need certification to apply these products. Additionally, the legislation mandates that retailers verify a customer's license before selling or supplying glyphosate-containing pesticides and requires these sales to occur on the business premises. Businesses wishing to sell these products must register with the department, pay an annual fee of up to $25, and adhere to specific terms set by the department.
