The bill titled "An Act allowing the town of Williamstown to ban second generation anticoagulant rodenticides (SGARs)" permits the Town of Williamstown to enact an ordinance that prohibits the use of second generation anticoagulant rodenticides within its jurisdiction. This prohibition extends to applications made by licensed commercial applicators, as defined in the relevant regulations, but allows for exceptions if the Board of Health permits the use of these pesticides to address a public health issue.

The legislation overrides existing laws, specifically chapter 132B of the general laws, to grant this authority to the town. This move aims to enhance public health and safety by regulating the use of potentially harmful rodenticides within the community.
