Georgia House Agriculture and Consumer Affairs Committee Hearing on SB 144 could happen as soon as WEDNESDAY 3/12

1. House Agriculture and Consumer Affairs Committee will hear SB 144.  
2. SB 144 was amended on the Senate floor - the amendment does not work. The amendment limits immunity only if EPA "determines" a company knowingly misled them. This is legally unworkable, and it addresses only the most egregious fraud cases, not the full scope of misbranding. It doesn't change the bill's practical effects but implicitly admits the original bill eliminates claims even when companies knowingly conceal information.
3. SB 144 gives foreign chemical companies complete immunity—even if they violate federal misbranding rules. EPA sets labeling standards, but Georgia law empowers farmers and families to hold these companies accountable when they cover up dangers. SB 144 strips farmers and families of their rights to hold pesticide companies accountable for violating federal law.
