This is a reminder that if you are planning to give verbal testimony, in person or virtually, for the rodenticide bill at Monday’s hearing the deadline to pre-register is TOMORROW, Friday, October 24th at 10:00 AM.
Register using this online form: https://forms.office.com/g/QSjDgWHnyE
You will need this name and bill number: An Act Restricting the Use of Rodenticides in the Environment (H965/S644). And if your town has a home rule petition you will need the bill’s full name and number too. (FYI - Arlington’s is the only home rule petition filed that is still missing from the hearing’s agenda. If you are from Arlington, you could email your legislators to ask them to help get it included on Monday.)
