AI Summary
This bill aims to provide alternative means for private property owners to designate their property for exclusion from wide-area and mosquito control pesticide applications in Massachusetts. Specifically, it authorizes the Massachusetts Pesticide Board, in consultation with the State Reclamation and Mosquito Control Board, to allow municipalities to include an "opt-out" provision on their annual city or town census forms, and to allow residents to submit a hand-delivered letter to the municipal clerk requesting exclusion. These changes to the existing regulations (333 CMR 13.03) must be implemented at least 90 days before the start of the 2019 pesticide spraying season.
