LD 228 repealed Maine’s pesticide notification registry, a common sense and effective system requiring that neighbors and landowners be notified in advance about aerial pesticide spraying near their homes and properties. Over 2,000 people had signed up for the registry. Pesticides can cause serious health problems, including birth defects, cancer, asthma, and developmental disabilities. Pesticide spray can drift off-target and contaminate organically grown produce. [Details]
