Prohibits use of chlorpyrifos insecticide.
This bill prohibits the sale, purchase, use, and application of chlorpyrifos, a pesticide linked to health risks including neurological and developmental issues, throughout New Jersey. It directly affects agricultural producers, commercial pest control businesses, and other users who currently rely on this chemical under its existing restricted-use designation. The bill amends state law to explicitly ban chlorpyrifos, overriding current allowances for certified applicators. The prohibition will take effect seven months after the bill is enacted.
