Summary

The bill adds a new privacy rule to the Food and Agricultural Code that keeps applicants’, licensees’ and certificate holders’ personal information out of the public record, unless a court orders disclosure. It also lets the Department of Pesticide Regulation accept a PO box or other alternate address as the official address and limits any public posting of that address. The change is meant to protect privacy while still allowing the department to use the information internally.
