MI HB4895

Prohibits use of neonicotinoid pesticides on public land beginning 1 year after the bill's effective date, except when a valid environmental emergency exists and no non-neonicotinoid pesticide would be equally effective.

Exempts seeds that are pre-treated with neonicotinoid pesticides from the prohibition.

Requires the Department of Natural Resources to report to the legislature within 4 years on peer-reviewed evidence regarding neonicotinoid safety for pollinators, beneficial insects, birds, and public health, and on the economic costs and benefits to Michigan agriculture if neonicotinoid use resumes.

Allows local units of government to enact ordinances imposing stricter neonicotinoid restrictions than the state prohibition.

Defines neonicotinoid pesticides as a class affecting insect central nervous systems, including acetamiprid, clothianidin, dinotefuran, imidacloprid, thiacloprid, thiamethoxam, nitenpyram, and sulfoxaflor.
