 AN ACT to amend the environmental conservation law, in relation to
 enacting the restriction of anticoagulant pesticide transactions for
 online and retail stores act

 The People of the State of New York, represented in Senate and Assem-
 bly, do enact as follows:

 1 Section 1. Short title. This act shall be known and may be cited as
 2 the "restriction of anticoagulant pesticide transactions for online and
 3 retail stores act" or "RAPTORS act".
 4 § 2. Legislative intent. The legislature hereby finds and declares
 5 that it is the policy of this state to ensure that aquatic, terrestrial,
 6 and avian wildlife species remain a fully functional component of the
 7 ecosystems they inhabit and move through in New York. It is the intent
 8 of this act to facilitate this goal by prohibiting the general public
 9 from purchasing and utilizing the world's deadliest rodenticides, which,
 10 when misapplied or improperly used, can cause significant unintended
 11 harm to non-target wildlife and the ecosystem.
 12 This legislation also comes in the wake of Flaco's passing. Flaco, the
 13 Eurasian eagle-owl whose escape from the Central Park Zoo and life on
 14 the loose captivated New York, had been exposed at the time of his death
 15 to four of the seven pesticides this bill restricts. The legislature
 16 takes this action to protect all non-target species, not only raptors
 17 such as eagles, hawks, and owls, but also the thousands of children and
 18 pets exposed to anticoagulants that poison control centers receive calls
 19 for each year.
 20 § 3. Section 33-1301 of the environmental conservation law is amended
 21 by adding a new subdivision 14 to read as follows:
 22 14. a. Except as provided in paragraph b of this subdivision, no
 23 person, business, or entity shall sell, offer for sale, distribute, or
 24 use any pesticide containing first-generation anticoagulant rodenticides
 25 (FGARs) or second-generation anticoagulant rodenticides (SGARs) within

 EXPLANATION--Matter in italics (underscored) is new; matter in brackets
 [ ] is old law to be omitted.

 1 the state. This prohibition applies to all forms of sale, including but
 2 not limited to retail establishments, agricultural suppliers, and online
 3 or digital marketplaces serving customers located in the state.
 4 b. (1) The prohibitions set forth in paragraph a of this subdivision
 5 shall not apply where a public safety risk, a risk to critical infras-
 6 tructure, or specific agricultural circumstances exist, as described in
 7 paragraph c of this subdivision.
 8 (2) The commissioner, in consultation with the commissioner of health
 9 and the commissioner of agriculture and markets, shall promulgate regu-
 10 lations to govern the exceptions pursuant to this paragraph and para-
 11 graph c of this subdivision. Such regulations shall require that alter-
 12 native pest control methods are exhausted prior to the use of FGARs or
 13 SGARs and shall prohibit any application within five hu
