An Act authorizing the town of Groton to prohibit the use of second generation anticoagulant rodenticides

This bill authorizes the town of Groton to create local rules banning the use of second-generation anticoagulant rodenticides, a specific type of pesticide used to kill rodents. The law allows the town's board of health or local bylaws to restrict these chemicals even when they are applied by certified professionals. By overriding state laws that might otherwise permit such use, the measure gives Groton direct control over rodent control methods within its borders. The act becomes effective immediately upon passing, enabling the town to implement its chosen regulations without delay.
