The order prohibiting the use of pesticides within 150 meters of homes, issued by the mayor of Saint-Julien-lès-Montbéliard, was challenged by the prefect of Doubs on the grounds that this measure was not the responsibility of a mayor, but of the minister of agriculture. On March 16, 2021, the administrative court of Besançon cancelled the municipal order.
