AI Summary
This bill aims to improve pesticide protections for Massachusetts schoolchildren by restricting the pesticide products that can be used on the outdoor grounds of schools, child care centers, or school age child care programs. Specifically, the bill allows only the use of pesticides that are classified as exempt materials by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency or include active ingredients published in the National List, unless a hardship waiver is granted by the department. This measure is intended to ensure a safer and more environmentally-friendly approach to pest management in these educational and childcare settings.
