 IN ASSEMBLY

 January 30, 2026
 ___________

 Introduced by M. of A. ROSENTHAL, STECK, KELLES, HEVESI, CLARK, LEVEN-

 AN ACT to amend the environmental conservation law, in relation to
 prohibiting the use of the pesticide paraquat

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

 1 Section 1. Legislative findings. 1. Paraquat or paraquat dichloride is
 2 a synthetic, nonselective contact herbicide that is a member of the
 3 bipyridylium chemical family and that kills all vegetation that it
 4 touches.
 5 2. Paraquat was first registered in the United States in 1964, and in
 6 1978, the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) classified all
 7 paraquat products as restricted use pesticides because of paraquat's
 8 high acute toxicity and potential for poisoning.
 9 3. Paraquat has been classified as a restricted use pesticide, and 24
 10 currently registered pesticide products approved for use in the United
 11 States contain paraquat.
 12 4. The Pesticide Action Network's 2024 Consolidated List of Banned
 13 Pesticides identifies 72 countries as banning the use of paraquat,
 14 including Brazil, China, Iraq, the United Kingdom, Malaysia, Peru, Saudi
 15 Arabia, South Korea, Thailand, Turkey, Vietnam, and Zimbabwe.
 16 5. The European Union banned paraquat in 2007 after a court determined
 17 that the relevant regulatory body had failed to apply proper procedures
 18 for evaluation of the herbicide and that the regulatory body was not
 19 properly thorough in its assessments of paraquat's effects on human and
 20 animal health.
 21 6. As of January 9, 2026, there were no products registered for use in
 22 Canada that contain paraquat.
 23 7. Multiple studies have demonstrated that paraquat exposure substan-
 24 tially increases the risk of Parkinson's disease in those exposed to the
 25 herbicide.

 1 8. Other studies suggest a possible link with exposure to paraquat to
 2 increased risk of non-Hodgkin lymphoma, renal cancer, thyroid cancer,
 3 and childhood leukemia.
 4 9. In 2021, as part of a product registr
