An act relating to the use of pesticide chlorpyrifos and the herbicides glyphosate and atrazine

This bill would ban the use, sale, and application of the pesticide chlorpyrifos and the herbicides glyphosate and atrazine in Vermont. It directly affects farmers, agricultural businesses, and anyone involved in applying these chemicals by prohibiting their use across the state. The legislation removes these specific substances from the list of allowed agricultural products without requiring additional permits or exemptions. By eliminating these chemicals, the bill aims to improve water quality and reduce potential environmental exposure. The measure does not address alternative pest control methods or provide funding for transition assistance to affected industries.
