Bill Summary
An Act to create 29.601 (4m) of the statutes; Relating to: ban on the use of certain insecticides by the Department of Natural Resources. (FE)
AI Summary
This bill prohibits the Department of Natural Resources (DNR) from using insecticides from the neonicotinoid class within a one-mile radius of any pollinator habitat located on land acquired and maintained by the DNR, with two exceptions: 1) insecticides already in use under existing cooperative agreements or contracts prior to the bill's effective date, and 2) insecticides used for forest insect control, state forest nurseries, seed orchards, or designated zones of infestation. Neonicotinoids are a class of insecticides that have been linked to declines in pollinator populations, such as bees. The bill aims to protect pollinators on DNR-managed lands by restricting the use of these pesticides in their habitats.
