BILL NUMBER:S848 REVISED 07/16/12 TITLE OF BILL: An act to amend the agriculture and markets law, in relation to regu- lation of the sale and analysis of fertilizer PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA OF BILL: This bill would provide the New York State Department of Agriculture and Markets with authority to make a standard label for all fertilizers and regulate its sale. SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS: Section 1 amends the Agriculture and Markets Law by adding a new Section 145-a, prohibiting municipal governments from adopting any regulations on labeling and sale of fertilizer that are different from or in addi- tion to any such requirement adopted in accordance with Article 10; renders any local legislation in violation of this section void and unenforceable; and does not preempt or otherwise limit the authority of any county or municipality to adopt and enforce zoning regulations, fire codes, building codes or wasted disposal restrictions. The bill does not change the Department of Environmental Conservation's sole authority under NYS Environmental Law Section 17-2105 to regulate application of fertilizer, however, it does create, under the regulation of the Department of Agriculture and Markets, a standard of state law for labeling and sale that would not be preempted by local law.
