This bill establishes regulations regarding the use of glyphosate, a broad-spectrum herbicide, on State- or county-owned property in New Jersey. It prohibits certified pesticide applicators and pesticide operators from using glyphosate except under specific circumstances, such as when there is no significant threat of human exposure and no viable alternatives. The bill outlines permitted uses, including maintaining critical public infrastructure, ensuring public safety, managing habitats, controlling invasive species, and conducting research on sustainable alternatives to glyphosate.

Additionally, the bill mandates that any certified pesticide applicator or pesticide operator who uses glyphosate under the exemptions must maintain detailed records of their usage, which must be made available to the Department of Environmental Protection upon request. This information will include the date, time, location, target pests, amount used, and an analysis of alternatives. The department is required to publish this information on its website annually by February 15, enhancing transparency regarding glyphosate application in the state.
