There Is a Newer Version
of
the Georgia Code
2006 Georgia Code - 2-7-51
2-7-51. The purpose of this article is to regulate, in
the public interest, the labeling, distribution, storage,
transportation, use, and disposal of pesticides. The General
Assembly finds that pesticides are valuable to this state´s
agricultural production and to the protection of man and the
environment from insects, rodents, weeds, and other forms of life
which may be pests but that it is essential to the public health
and welfare that they be regulated to prevent adverse effects on
human life and on the environment. New pesticides which are
valuable to the control of pests and for use as defoliants,
desiccants, and plant regulators are continually being discovered
or synthesized. The dissemination of accurate scientific
information as to the proper use of any pesticide is vital to the
public health and welfare and to the environment, both immediately
and in the future. Therefore, it is deemed necessary to provide for
regulation of such pesticides.
