MODERATE

This bill significantly tightens restrictions on anticoagulant rodenticides (pesticides that cause bleeding in rodents) by banning their sale and use across the entire state, including online. It replaces vague previous rules with a strict prohibition that applies to all businesses and individuals, while introducing specific exemptions for critical infrastructure and agriculture. The law also updates the effective date to one year after enactment to allow time for new regulations.

Scope change

The scope expanded from a limited ban on use in specific wildlife areas to a comprehensive statewide ban covering all sales, retail, and digital marketplaces.

SCOPE

The ban now applies to the sale, offer for sale, and distribution of these pesticides anywhere in the state, not just within wildlife habitats.

REQUIREMENT

New regulations require that alternative non-chemical pest control methods (like traps or sanitation) be exhausted before these pesticides can be used.

EXCEPTIONS

Exemptions were added for public safety risks, critical infrastructure protection, and specific agricultural activities like food processing and storage.

TIMELINE

The effective date was changed from 90 days to one year after the bill becomes law to allow for rule-making.

DEFINITION

A new definition for 'alternative pest control methods' was added to clarify what non-chemical options must be tried first.
