NY S07532

Prohibits sale, distribution, or use of first-generation anticoagulant rodenticides (FGARs) containing diphacinone, warfarin, or chlorophacinone, and second-generation anticoagulant rodenticides (SGARs) containing brodifacoum, bromadiolone, difenacoum, or difethialone, unless the purchaser holds a valid pesticide permit, certification card, or is a commercial pesticide technician or apprentice

Bans all use of restricted FGARs and SGARs within 500 feet of wildlife habitat areas including parks, wetlands, nature preserves, and wildlife refuges managed by state, regional, or quasi-government agencies

Allows the Commissioner of Environmental Conservation to create exceptions permitting certified pesticide applicators and supervised technicians to use these rodenticides in wildlife areas when not reasonably expected to cause significant adverse effects to non-target wildlife

Named the "RAPTORS Act" (Restriction of Anticoagulant Pesticide Transactions for Online and Retail Stores) in response to wildlife deaths including Flaco, the Central Park Zoo Eurasian eagle-owl who had exposure to four restricted pesticides at the time of his death

Takes effect 90 days after becoming law, with rulemaking authority granted immediately to enable implementation
