This Act revises Chapter 12 of Title 3 of the Delaware Code which governs the use of pesticides. This Act will direct the Department of Agriculture to classify neonicotinoid pesticides designed or intended for use in outdoor applications as restricted use pesticides and establish a list of chemicals that belong to the neonicotinoid class of chemicals to be included under this classification. Neonicotinoid pesticides are suspected of having adverse effects on pollinating insects and may contribute to the disappearance of bee populations, commonly referred to as "colony collapse disorder." Under the Act, as a restricted use pesticide, neonicotinoids designed for outdoor use could only be purchased and used by certified and licensed pesticide applicators, or persons working under the direct supervision of a certified and licensed pesticide applicator.

An Act To Amend Title 3 Of The Delaware Code Relating To Pesticides.
