Bill > H5217

This bill defines "anticoagulant rodenticide" as any pesticide that hinders blood clotting, including specific active ingredients like Brodifacoum and Warfarin, and amends existing law to establish a regulated process for their limited use by licensed professionals in public health emergencies, requiring one-time indoor use in a single location for no more than 14 days, coupled with integrated pest management strategies, enhanced labeling, written justification over non-chemical alternatives, and post-use reporting with ongoing control plans, with exceptions for protecting drinking water, controlling mosquito-borne illness vectors, and emergent infectious disease control, while also preventing the general registration of these rodenticides except for such emergency uses and mandating annual public reporting on their emergency application.
