AN ACT CONCERNING THE REGULATION OF NEONICOTINOIDS.

SB 505 prohibits the use of neonicotinoid pesticides on golf courses, turf grass, lawns, outdoor ornamental plants, public property (state/municipal), and crops like corn, wheat, and soybeans starting January 1, 2028. It directly affects property managers, landscapers, farmers, and municipalities that currently use these pesticides. The bill allows exceptions only if the state environmental agency determines an environmental emergency requires their use. The law aims to protect pollinators, birds, and ecosystems by restricting these pesticides, which are linked to ecological harm. No other policy changes or funding mechanisms are specified in the bill text.
