SD 1006 Massachusetts Senate · 193rd Legislature (2023-2024)

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

This bill amends Massachusetts pesticide laws to require a state license for anyone using glyphosate-containing herbicides on land for agricultural or non-agricultural purposes. It mandates that businesses selling these products must verify that customers hold valid certification before making a sale and restricts sales to transactions occurring on the seller's registered premises. Additionally, the legislation allows the state to impose further limits, such as requiring written permission for each use, if the pesticide is later classified as restricted.
