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.

SB 228 amends Pennsylvania's pesticide law to clarify that state regulations on pesticide use, sale, and distribution override conflicting local rules, affecting all municipalities and pesticide applicators statewide. The bill allows high-density municipalities (over 300 people per square mile) to create restricted outdoor pesticide application zones on private property, but prohibits restrictions on agricultural use, public property, aerial applications, or public applicators. It requires the state department to provide a sample ordinance for municipalities seeking to implement these local restrictions within 120 days. The law takes effect 60 days after enactment, reinforcing statewide uniformity in pesticide regulation while permitting limited local control under specific conditions.
