Bill Summary
For legislation to prohibit the application of herbicides within five hundred feet of a residence, school or playground. Environment, Natural Resources and Agriculture.
AI Summary
This bill amends the existing 310 CMR 10.05 (3) (a) (2) regulation to prohibit the application of herbicides within 500 feet of a residence, school, or children's playground. The existing regulation allows for the presumption of applying herbicides in buffer zones, but this bill adds a new provision that specifically bans such application within 500 feet of sensitive areas like homes, schools, and playgrounds. This change aims to protect these locations from the potential negative impacts of herbicide use.
