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.
