This bill aims to prohibit the sale, use, or application of neonicotinoid pesticides in the state of Minnesota. It introduces new legal language under Minnesota Statutes, chapter 18B, specifically section 18B.116, which states that no state agency, political subdivision, individual, or legal entity is allowed to engage in these activities concerning neonicotinoid pesticides.

The prohibition is set to take effect on January 1, 2027, providing a timeline for compliance and implementation of this new regulation. The bill reflects a growing concern over the environmental and health impacts of neonicotinoid pesticides, aligning with efforts to promote safer agricultural practices.
