Prohibits the use of adhesive-based rodent traps in state-owned or state-leased buildings

The law was changed from the General Business Law to the Public Buildings Law, limiting the prohibition to government buildings rather than the entire state.

All provisions banning the sale, distribution, importation, and possession of adhesive traps by the general public and businesses were removed.

The definition of 'manufacturer' was simplified, removing specific clauses about importers and foreign entities that were present in the original version.

The timeline for the ban was adjusted to begin one year after the effective date, replacing the original multi-phase schedule that included immediate sales bans.

The definition of the banned item was changed from 'adhesive-based animal trap' (covering rodents or larger) to 'adhesive-based rodent trap'.

The definition of 'insect trap' was removed entirely, as insect traps are no longer part of the bill's scope.

Prohibitions on selling, distributing, or using adhesive traps were updated to apply only to rodent traps instead of all animal traps.

Exemptions for retailers and exterminators holding stock prior to the effective date were updated to refer to 'adhesive-based traps' rather than 'adhesive-based animal traps'.

The one-year grace period for exterminators to use existing stock was updated to specify that it applies only when providing rodent control services.
