ROZIC, ENGLEBRIGHT, PEOPLES-STOKES, DINOWITZ, JAFFEE, PAULIN, COLTON, L. ROSENTHAL -- Multi-Sponsored by -- M. of A. CUSICK, GOTTFRIED, LUPARDO, SOLAGES -- read once and referred to the Committee on Environmental Conservation AN ACT to amend the environmental conservation law, in relation to the phase-out of state use of pesticides THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF NEW YORK, REPRESENTED IN SENATE AND ASSEM- BLY, DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS: Section 1. Legislative findings. The legislature finds and declares that pesticides are linked to a number of acute and chronic health prob- lems and that it is therefore the policy of the state to phase-out pesticide use by the government for many pest control purposes and to adopt a pest control policy that substantially relies on non-chemical pest control strategies. § 2. Article 33 of the environmental conservation law is amended by adding a new title 8 to read as follows: TITLE 8 PHASE-OUT OF STATE USE OF PESTICIDES SECTION 33-0801. DEFINITIONS. 33-0803. PHASE-OUT OF STATE USE OF PESTICIDES. § 33-0801. DEFINITIONS. AS USED IN THIS TITLE: 1. "ANTIMICROBIAL PESTICIDE" MEANS A PESTICIDE THAT: (A) IS INTENDED TO DISINFECT, SANITIZE, REDUCE, OR MITIGATE GROWTH OR DEVELOPMENT OF MICROBIOLOGICAL ORGANISMS; (B) IS INTENDED TO PROTECT INANIMATE OBJECTS, INDUSTRIAL PROCESSES OR SYSTEMS, SURFACES, WATER, OR OTHER CHEMICAL SUBSTANCES FROM CONTAMINATION, FOULING, OR DETERIORATION CAUSED BY BACTERIA, VIRUSES, FUNGI, PROTOZOA, ALGAE, OR SLIME; OR (C) IN THE INTENDED USE, IS EXEMPT FROM OR OTHERWISE NOT SUBJECT TO, A TOLERANCE UNDER APPROPRIATE PROVISIONS OF FEDERAL LAW.
