Synopsis As Introduced
Creates the Pesticide Application on Rights-of-Way Notification Act. Provides that, at least 24 hours before applying a pesticide to a public right-of-way that is located within the corporate boundaries of a municipality, a certified applicator employed or contracted with by the State or a unit of local government to apply the pesticide shall provide notice of the application to all residents whose residences are located within 200 feet of the public right-of-way to be treated. Provides for monetary penalties for violations following an administrative hearing with the Department of Agriculture. Specifies that penalties are to be deposited into the Pesticide Control Fund, with unpaid penalties subject to collection by the Attorney General. Creates a petty offense and provides for an alternative prosecution by a State's Attorney following referral by the Department of Agriculture, with identical fines for the petty offense. Provides for the adoption of rules by the Department of Agriculture. Defines terms.

Senate Committee Amendment No. 1
Replaces everything after the enacting clause with the provisions of the introduced bill with the following changes. Requires that the State or the unit of local government in which the application of a pesticide to a public right of way is to be made must provide notice of the application to residents within 200 feet (rather than the certified applicator to provide notice of the application to residents within 200 feet). Provides that notification by the State or unit of local government may be sufficient if posted in certain correspondence (rather than specified notification requirements for the certified applicator). Removes corresponding definitions.

Senate Floor Amendment No. 2
Replaces everything after the enacting clause with the provisions of the bill, as amended, with the following changes. Limits the definition of "unit of local government" in the Act to exclude a park district, a forest preserve district, or a conservation district. Exempts from the Act's notice requirements the application of a solid mosquito larvicide in accordance with a specified administrative rule.

House Floor Amendment No. 1
Provides that at least 24 hours before the State or a unit of local government, including a mosquito abatement district or a commercial entity hired by the State or a unit of local government (rather than the State or a unit of local government), applies a pesticide, including a pesticide intended to control mosquitoes (rather than a pesticide), to a public right-of-way that is located within the corporate boundaries of a municipality, the State, mosquito abatement district, or other unit of local government (rather than the State or the unit of local government) in which the application is to be made shall provide written notice to the public of the application of the pesticide, with certain notice information requirements, with notice sufficient if posted in newsletters, calendars, or other correspondence currently published by the State or the unit of local government in which the application is to be made (rather than to all residents whose residences are located within 200 feet of the public right-of-way to be treated, with notice sufficient if posted in newsletters, calendars, or other correspondence currently published by the State or the unit of local government in which the application is to be made). Provides that the State or a unit of local government, including a mosquito abatement district, need not comply with certain notice requirements if the application of pesticide is in response to (i) disease causing agents in vector mosquitoes, (ii) the occurrence of mosquito-borne disease in animal or human populations, or (iii) a natural disaster recovery effort.
