Requires use of uniform silver flags to mark certain pesticide applications.

The flags must be silver, same size/type, and display information in both English and Spanish. It prohibits using silver flags for other purposes like dog fences or utility lines to avoid confusion. The Environmental Protection Department will create rules to implement these requirements. The bill directly affects commercial pesticide applicators in New Jersey.
