Bill > HB05135

This bill proposes to prohibit the use of glyphosate on all state and municipal owned properties. Glyphosate is a widely used herbicide (weed killer) that has been the subject of environmental and health debates, with some concerns about its potential negative impacts. By banning its application on government-owned lands such as parks, roadways, public buildings, and other municipal spaces, the bill aims to reduce the overall use of this chemical in the state. The legislation is straightforward in its approach, seeking to limit potential environmental and health risks associated with glyphosate by preventing its use on publicly owned properties. The bill reflects a precautionary approach to managing potentially harmful chemicals in public spaces.
