AN ACT PROHIBITING THE NONAGRICULTURAL USE OF NEONICOTINOIDS.

HB 5260 would prohibit the nonagricultural use of neonicotinoid insecticides, allowing their use only on agricultural plants like food crops. It would make it illegal to possess, use, or sell these chemicals for any purpose outside farming, including residential gardening, lawn care, or commercial landscaping. This directly affects homeowners, garden centers, and pest control businesses that currently use neonicotinoids in non-farming settings. The bill does not restrict neonicotinoid use in agriculture but eliminates all other applications.
