The Rodent Education and Management Yields Results (REMY) Amendment Act of 2026 aims to address the growing rodent population in the District of Columbia through a public health approach. The legislation focuses on reducing accessible food sources for rodents, particularly in commercial areas, and aims to protect residents, pets, and wildlife from the health risks associated with rodenticides. Key provisions include the establishment of a pilot program to provide grants for rodent-proof dumpsters in high rodent population areas, restrictions on the use of anticoagulant rodenticides by untrained individuals, and a public education campaign led by the Department of Health to promote effective rodent prevention and control strategies.

The bill introduces new definitions for "anticoagulant rodenticide" and "Bureau" within the Rodent Control Act, and it establishes a grant program to support businesses in implementing rodent-proof waste management solutions. Additionally, it outlines the unlawful use of anticoagulant rodenticides by untrained individuals and mandates the Bureau to conduct a public education program that covers effective rodent prevention strategies, safe practices for encountering rodents, and the health risks associated with improper rodenticide use. The legislation seeks to enhance community awareness and compliance to ultimately reduce rodent populations while safeguarding public health.
