An Act authorizing the town of Newbury to adopt a bylaw restricting the use of second generation anticoagulant rodenticides

This bill authorizes the Town of Newbury to create a local bylaw restricting the use of second-generation anticoagulant rodenticides (a type of potent rat poison) on private property within the town. It directly affects Newbury residents and property owners who currently use these rodenticides for pest control. The key provision is granting the town legal authority to adopt such a restriction, without mandating it, and the bill takes effect immediately upon state approval. The measure focuses on enabling local environmental or safety decisions regarding these chemicals.
