Summary

The law restricts the retail sale of first‑ and second‑generation anticoagulant rodenticides and bans their general use after 2029, with limited exemptions for public‑health and certain agricultural settings. It also establishes a pilot program that lets municipalities voluntarily adopt integrated pest management (IPM) strategies for rodents, track results, and receive state‑administered funding. The measures aim to reduce reliance on highly toxic rodenticides and promote safer, non‑chemical control methods.
