Massachusetts S64 aims to enhance pesticide protections for schoolchildren by restricting pesticide use in schools and nearby areas.

Massachusetts S64 seeks to improve pesticide protections for schoolchildren by amending Section 6C of Chapter 132B of the General Laws. The bill mandates that schools, child care centers, and public institutions of higher education use only pesticide products that meet specific criteria, such as being classified as exempt materials by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency or containing active ingredients listed in the National List. A hardship waiver may be granted by the Department of Environmental Protection for non-compliant pesticides.
