About this statute

This Act regulates pesticides, including registration, import permits, manufacturing and sales licences, and controls on pesticide residues in food. The provision requires reporting certain pesticide-related accidents and gives enforcement powers, testing rights, and offences/penalties for non-compliance. This provision says certain older poison/ordinance rules keep applying to listed substances until the Minister says otherwise, with transitional protections for existing licences and acts already authorised under Sabah and Sarawak laws. This provision lists pesticide common names alongside their chemical names. This provision lists pesticide substances by common name and chemical name.
