An Act authorizing the town of Sharon to prohibit the use of second-generation anticoagulants

This bill grants the town of Sharon the authority to pass local rules banning the use of second-generation anticoagulant rodenticides, a type of poison commonly used to kill rodents. The law applies to all users, including licensed commercial pest control companies, with the only exception being situations where the town's Board of Health permits its use to fix an immediate public health issue. By overriding state laws that might otherwise allow these chemicals, the legislation enables Sharon to restrict these substances within its borders. The measure takes effect immediately upon passing, giving the town direct control over this specific pest control method.
