What it would have done

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

This bill requires the Department of Agriculture, Trade and Consumer Protection to create a deicer applicators registration program and establish criteria for training individual commercial applicators in methods for snow and ice removal and deicer application that protect water quality. Under the bill, DATCP must register commercial applicators who have completed approved training and passed an exam.

The bill provides that a commercial applicator registered by DATCP and the owner of private real estate that contracts with a registered commercial applicator are presumed to not be liable for damages arising from a hazard resulting from the accumulation of snow and ice on any private real estate maintained by the registered commercial applicator when the hazard is caused solely by snow or ice and the registered commercial applicator used methods for snow and ice removal and deicer application that are taught in training approved by DATCP.
