AN ACT PROHIBITING THE REGULATION OF PESTICIDE USE BY MUNICIPALITIES.
HB 5913 would prevent cities and towns from creating their own rules about pesticide use. It directly affects municipalities that might want to restrict pesticides in parks, schools, or residential areas. The bill would amend state law to block local pesticide regulations, ensuring only state and federal governments manage this oversight. This shifts regulatory authority away from local communities to state and federal agencies. The stated purpose is to create a uniform approach to pesticide regulation across the state.
