SB 9 Connecticut Senate · 2025 Regular Session

AN ACT CONCERNING THE ENVIRONMENT, CLIMATE AND SUSTAINABLE MUNICIPAL AND STATE PLANNING, AND THE USE OF NEONICOTINOIDS AND SECOND-GENERATION ANTICOAGULANT RODENTICIDES.

SB 9 requires municipalities and state agencies to develop climate action plans focused on reducing emissions and adapting to climate impacts. It also bans the sale and use of neonicotinoid pesticides (harmful to bees) and second-generation anticoagulant rodenticides (toxic to wildlife) for public and private use. These provisions directly affect local governments, state agencies, and businesses selling or applying these pesticides. The law, now enacted as Public Act 25-33, mandates concrete policy changes in environmental planning and pesticide regulation.

MINOR
The bill was renamed from 'Committee Bill' to 'Substitute Bill' and the page count was reduced from 53 to 52 pages. The most significant substantive change is the correction of a reference in Section 4 from 'section 1 of this act' to 'section 3 of this act', ensuring the flood disclosure notice requirement is properly linked to the correct section of the bill. The bill also maintains its original effective dates of July 1, 2025 and July 1, 2026.
Scope change
The bill's scope remains unchanged; it continues to require flood disclosure notices for residential real estate transactions and mandates a $500 seller credit when sellers fail to provide required reports or notices.
