An act relating to aquatic nuisance control

Summary

The bill changes the rules for getting a permit to apply pesticides or other chemicals in any Vermont water body to fight aquatic nuisances. Only private pond owners, municipalities or lake associations may apply, and they must show that non‑chemical methods are not feasible and that risks to wildlife and public health are minimal. The goal is to protect native species and recreational uses by making chemicals a last resort.
