The bill S. 246 proposes an amendment to Section 46-9-110 of the South Carolina Code of Laws, which pertains to local ordinances regarding pesticide use. The amendment allows local governments to adopt ordinances that restrict the use of specific pesticide products containing certain active ingredients, namely brodifacoum, bromadiolone, difenacoum, and difethialone. This change aims to empower local authorities to address concerns related to the use of these pesticides within their jurisdictions.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that local ordinances conflicting with state law are void, except for the provisions allowing local governments to impose restrictions on the specified pesticide products. The act will take effect upon approval by the Governor, thereby enabling local governments to take immediate action on pesticide regulation once enacted.
