ATCP 29 Rule Revision

The comment period has closed on this proposal. The final draft has been sent to the Legislature for final action.

The scope statement notifies the public that we intend to update and clarify current rules regulating the use and control of pesticides. The current rule remains in effect until the effective date of any revisions. DATCP began revising ATCP 29 in 2008 when the DATCP Board approved the scope statement.
