STATEMENT OF PURPOSE
RS31453 / H0653
This legislation amends Idaho Code, Title 22, Chapter 34, and Idaho Code, Title 48, Chapter 6 regarding
pesticide labeling and the Idaho Consumer Protection Act. Pesticide labeling is regulated by state and federal
laws. This legislation clarifies that existing regulations of pesticide labels shall create a presumption that there
was an adequate warning regarding the health and safety from the pesticide label that can be rebutted in a court
of law that the warning was inadequate to protect from unreasonable risks of injury or damage, or that the
warning was procured by fraudulent conduct.
FISCAL NOTE
There is no impact to the General Fund because this legislation deals specifically with pesticide labels and
product liability.
