An Act governing the use of pesticides containing the herbicide substance Glyphosate in the Commonwealth
HD 240 requires anyone using pesticides containing glyphosate to hold a valid license from the department, affecting both users (like farmers or landscapers) and retailers. The bill mandates that retailers verify a customer’s license before selling glyphosate pesticides and register their business with the department for a $25 annual fee. It prohibits unsupervised use by licensed individuals and restricts sales to licensed customers only, with specific rules for general-use pesticides. The law takes effect 12 months after passage.
