Pesticide and chemigation; regulate false reporting of damage claims relating to.
HB 1141 makes it a misdemeanor to knowingly file a false damage claim about pesticide or chemigation issues with Mississippi law enforcement or the Department of Agriculture. It directly affects individuals or entities reporting such claims. The bill’s key provision (Section 1) imposes penalties for intentionally submitting false reports, while referencing existing pesticide law sections (69-23-5 and 69-23-29) for potential amendment. The bill does not change pesticide safety rules but targets dishonest reporting related to pesticide damage. (Note: The bill died in committee and did not become law.)
