Bill > S2896

This bill authorizes the town of Manchester-by-the-Sea to create a local law, known as a bylaw, that would limit or ban the use of Second Generation Anticoagulant Rodenticides (SGARs). SGARs are a type of poison used to kill rodents, and this bill specifically allows Manchester-by-the-Sea to restrict their application, even by professional pest control services licensed under Massachusetts regulations. This provision overrides any existing state laws that might otherwise prevent such local restrictions, providing the town with the authority to manage the use of these specific rodenticides within its boundaries.
