Bill > A00915

This bill amends the Environmental Conservation Law to prohibit the nonemergency application of pesticides or lawn care pesticides within any municipal park lands and lands under the jurisdiction of the State Office of Parks, Recreation, and Historic Preservation. It also requires the Office to provide public notice at least 72 hours prior to any pesticide application. The bill defines key terms such as "pesticide," "lawn care pesticide," "microbial pesticide," and "biochemical pesticide" to clarify the scope of the prohibition and notice requirements.
