RELATING TO PESTICIDE BUFFER ZONES.

Summary

The Senior Safe Zone Act bars anyone from applying restricted‑use pesticides within a 0.5‑mile radius of licensed elderly health‑care facilities beginning January 1, 2027. The rule does not apply to whole‑structure fumigation, invasive‑species control by designated agencies, pesticides used by the Department of Health, or wood‑preserving chemicals. It aims to protect older adults, who are more vulnerable to pesticide drift, from health risks.
