AI Summary
This bill authorizes the Massachusetts Pesticide Board, in consultation with the State Reclamation and Mosquito Control Board, to provide alternative means for private property owners to exclude their property from wide-area pesticide and mosquito control applications. The proposed alternatives include allowing municipalities to include an "opt-out" provision on their annual census forms and allowing residents to submit a hand-delivered letter to the municipal clerk with the necessary information to request exclusion. These changes to the existing regulations (333 CMR 13.03) must be implemented at least 90 days before the start of the 2017 pesticide spraying season.
