Overview

S 6680 is a proposed bill introduced on March 19, 2025, that would prohibit the use of residential automatic pesticide misting systems. The bill has been referred to the Environmental Conservation committee for consideration.

What the bill would do

  • Prohibit the use of residential automatic pesticide misting systems. The available information indicates a ban on operating these systems in homes.
