NRS 586.234

Adoption of standards prescribed by United States Environmental Protection Agency

Known as the Nevada Pesticides Act

The act spans §§ 586–586 (61 sections).

[Part 5:269:1955]—(NRS A 1961, 569; 1971, 1138; 1987, 94; 1993, 1777; 1999, 3718; 2015, 3633)—(Substituted in revision for NRS 586.330)

To avoid confusion endangering the public health resulting from diverse requirements, particularly as to the labeling and coloring of pesticides, and to avoid increased costs to the residents of this state because of the necessity of complying with diverse requirements in the manufacture and sale of pesticides, it is desirable that there be uniformity between the requirements of the several states and the Federal Government relating to pesticides. To this end the Director may, after a public hearing, adopt such regulations applicable to and in conformity with the primary standards established by this chapter as have been or may be prescribed by the United States Environmental Protection Agency with respect to pesticides.
