Bill Summary
To prohibit the nonagricultural use of neonicotinoids.
AI Summary
This bill aims to prohibit the nonagricultural use of neonicotinoids, a class of insecticides, in Connecticut. Specifically, it would ban the sale, possession, or use of any pesticide containing neonicotinoids, except for use on agricultural plants or to eliminate invasive invertebrate pests, if the Commissioner of Energy and Environmental Protection determines that no other effective control option is available. The bill also empowers the Commissioner to impose civil penalties of up to $2,500 for violations. Neonicotinoids used for pet care, veterinary use, or indoor/structural pest control are exempt from the ban.
