Bill Summary
For legislation to regulate the use of chemical pesticides on golf courses. Environment, Natural Resources and Agriculture.
AI Summary
This bill prohibits the use of chemical pesticides on golf courses in order to prevent additional public health risks during the pandemic and to curb the environmental impacts of chemical use on large areas of land. The bill defines key terms like "golf course" and "pesticide," and establishes that the Department of Food and Agriculture will be responsible for inspecting and enforcing the prohibition, as well as determining any necessary additional restrictions. The Department may grant waivers to golf courses that can prove, after a technical evaluation, that the use of pesticides on their land has no environmental impact or public health risks.
