Fertilizers or Pesticides; a manufacturer cannot be held liable for failing to warn consumers of health risks above those required by the United States Environmental Protection Agency; clarify

The bill was renamed from LC 60 0078 to SB 144 and updated to reflect its passage by the Senate. The text was amended to clarify that manufacturers are generally exempt from liability for failing to warn about health risks if those risks match EPA requirements, but this exemption no longer applies if the EPA determines the manufacturer knowingly withheld or misrepresented safety information. Several legislative findings were added to emphasize the importance of a domestic supply chain for crop protection products and the risks of relying on foreign imports.
