An Act authorizing the town of Brookline to prohibit or restrict the application of second-generation anticoagulant rodenticides

This bill authorizes the Town of Brookline to ban or restrict the use of second-generation anticoagulant rodenticides (pesticides that prevent blood clotting) within its borders through local bylaws. It directly affects Brookline residents and commercial pest control services operating in the town by allowing the municipality to regulate these specific pesticides. The bill overrides existing state laws (Chapter 132B) to grant Brookline this authority, which takes effect immediately upon passage.
