The proposed bill, General Assembly Proposed Bill No. 5016, aims to amend current statutes to impose restrictions on the use and sale of second generation rodenticides. This legislative change is intended to safeguard the health of birds of prey and other animals that prey on rodents, addressing concerns about the negative impact these substances may have on wildlife.
The bill does not specify the exact legal language that will be inserted or deleted from current law, but it clearly indicates a focus on limiting the availability of certain rodenticides. By doing so, the bill seeks to promote environmental health and protect vulnerable species that may be affected by these chemicals.
