An Act relative to a town-wide ban on the use of second-generation anticoagulant rodenticides (SGARs)

This bill allows the Town of Bedford to ban second-generation anticoagulant rodenticides (SGARs) through local ordinance, overriding other state laws. It directly affects Bedford residents, property owners, and commercial pest control services operating within the town. The key provision permits the town to restrict all SGAR applications, including those by licensed commercial applicators, except when the Board of Health authorizes their use to address a public health emergency. The law does not ban SGARs outright but gives Bedford the authority to implement a town-wide restriction with a specific health-related exception.
