ID H0747

Property owners within abatement districts may submit written notice to exempt their property from all abatement-related activities, with the exemption remaining in effect until rescinded in writing

Aerial adulticide spraying (via planes, drones, or similar devices) is restricted to declared health emergencies only and must exclude exempted properties; aerial larvicide application does not require an emergency declaration

Government agents who knowingly allow abatement activities on exempted property face a $1,000 fine per violation paid to the property owner, plus attorney's fees and costs

Abatement districts must publish notice at least 10 days before each season describing activities, locations, methods, authorized products, and opt-out procedures on websites and monthly in local newspapers

Removes the previous requirement that landowners submit and implement their own pest management plan to opt out of district treatment; the new opt-out requires only written notice with the property address
