Legislation
States have taken several approaches to protect pollinators, including:
- Encouraging communities to use native pollinator flowering plants and habitat, such as NJ S.83
- Increasing public education through a Pollinator Week such as PA H.R.385 and NY’s K.1434, or Bee Aware Day (NM S.M.103)
- Restricting or prohibiting specific pesticides, such as neonicotinoids (MD H.B.211, NJ S.1016, and MD H.B.0208)
- Establishing funding for pollinator protection, such as through state license plate fees (VA S.B.434, NJ S.92, and CO H.B.21-1145)
