Provide pesticide warning label laws

HB 522 aimed to establish new laws regarding pesticide warning labels and liability. It placed a duty on manufacturers, marketers, distributors, retailers, and sellers of pesticides to warn consumers and the public about associated risks. This duty would be considered satisfied if the pesticide's label was approved by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) under federal law and the pesticide was registered with both the EPA and the state's department of agriculture. Under these conditions, liability for failing to warn would not arise. The bill would apply to legal actions that originate after its effective date.
