An act to amend the Parks, Recreation and Historic Preservation Law — 2024-03-04 · Calendar #390

NYS Legislature ↗ · OpenLeg API ↗
The New York State Senate passed legislation Tuesday to protect children from pesticide exposure at playgrounds, with the bill clearing on a 59-2 vote. Senate Print 805, sponsored by Sen. Serrano, would authorize the Department of Environmental Conservation and Department of Health to establish guidelines for pesticide spraying near playgrounds, including distance requirements, cleanup procedures, and notification protocols. The bill addresses concerns about pesticide drift from mosquito control and other spraying operations, particularly on Long Island where wind conditions increase overspray risks. Sen. Krueger cited research showing that even relatively small pesticide exposure can cause neurodevelopmental damage in children. However, Sen. Murray voted against the measure, arguing it lacked sufficient detail on enforcement mechanisms, penalty structures, liability protections, and responsibility allocation among municipalities and state agencies. Murray said he could not support the bill until implementation questions were resolved. The legislation will take effect 180 days after becoming law.
Passed Senate Ayes: 59 · Nays: 2
