HB 5135 Connecticut House · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT PROHIBITING THE USE OF GLYPHOSATE ON STATE AND MUNICIPAL OWNED PROPERTIES.

HB 5135 prohibits the use of glyphosate (a common herbicide) on all properties owned by the state or local municipalities. This bill directly affects state agencies, parks, schools, and municipal facilities that currently use glyphosate for weed control. The key provision bans glyphosate application on these properties, requiring alternative methods for vegetation management. The stated purpose is to reduce glyphosate usage statewide, without specifying additional environmental or health goals.
