AN ACT to amend the environmental conservation law, in relation to restricting the use of total release fogging pesticides

AI Summary

This bill restricts the use of total release fogging pesticides, also known as "bug bombs," in New York. It requires that purchasers of these pesticides be licensed as certified commercial, residential, or technician-level pesticide applicators, either in New York or in a jurisdiction with reciprocity.
