An Act amending the act of March 1, 1974 (P.L.90, No.24), known as the Pennsylvania Pesticide Control Act of 1973, further providing for delegation of duties and exclusion of local laws and regulations.

This bill amends the Pennsylvania Pesticide Control Act to clarify that the state's pesticide regulations take precedence over local laws and ordinances. It allows the state secretary to delegate administrative duties to designated employees and establishes that municipalities cannot regulate pesticide registration, sale, or use unless those rules conflict with state law. However, the legislation creates a specific exception permitting cities with a population density of at least 300 people per square mile to ban commercial pesticide applications on private property in designated restricted areas. To assist local governments, the Department of Community and Economic Development is tasked with creating a sample ordinance within 120 days to guide municipalities exercising this new authority.
