A Notice of Proposed Rulemaking announcing a proposed amendment to Article 6 of Title 27 of the California Code of Regulations, section 25603 was published in the California Regulatory Notice Register on April 27, 2018 (Notice File Number Z-2018-0417-05). The proposed amendment would modify the safe-harbor warning content for on-product warnings for exposures to listed chemicals in pesticides.
