This bill introduces regulations prohibiting the use of certain second generation anticoagulant rodenticides, specifically those containing active ingredients such as Brodifacoum, Bromadiolone, Difenacoum, and Difethialone. It amends RSA 430:29 by adding a new definition for "second generation anticoagulant rodenticide" and further modifies RSA 430:41 to include a new subparagraph that outlines prohibited acts regarding these rodenticides. The bill specifies that, with certain exceptions, the use of these rodenticides is banned.

The exceptions to this prohibition allow for the use of second generation anticoagulant rodenticides by state or municipal employees for public health purposes, in specific facilities compliant with federal regulations, and in designated agricultural settings such as warehouses and food production sites. The bill also establishes an effective date of January 1, 2027, for these regulations to take effect.
