BILL NUMBER: S4949 TITLE OF BILL : An act to amend the environmental conservation law, in relation to providing for a study of integrated pest management of state facilities PURPOSE OR GENERAL IDEA : This bill would provide for study of integrated pest management at state facilities. SUMMARY OF SPECIFIC PROVISIONS : Amends section 33-0101 of the environmental conservation law (ECL) by adding a new subdivision 27-a and renumbers section 33-0305 of the ECL to section 33-0307 and adds a new section 33-0305. JUSTIFICATION : Although integrated pest management (IPM) is often touted as a means of reducing pesticide usage, New York State lacks a clear definition of what this actually means. This legislation would define IPM and requires that by February 1st, 2003, DEC, in conjunction with Cornell University, conduct a study to determine the feasibility of IPM use in state agencies.
