Directs DEP to conduct study to evaluate banning use of paraquat dichloride in New Jersey.

This bill (A 3084) directs New Jersey’s Department of Environmental Protection (DEP) to study whether to ban paraquat dichloride, a toxic herbicide used commercially and by consumers. The study must evaluate its environmental and health impacts, review how other states regulate it, and recommend whether a ban should apply to all uses. The DEP must submit a report within two years, making findings and recommendations to the Governor and Legislature. This bill does not ban paraquat immediately but initiates a formal review of its safety and potential restrictions for all New Jersey residents and agricultural users.
