AI Summary
- Known as "Chief's Law," requires antifreeze containing more than 10% ethylene glycol sold in Georgia to include denatonium benzoate as an aversive agent to render it unpalatable
- Denatonium benzoate must be included at a concentration between 30 and 50 parts per million, applying to antifreeze manufactured after July 1, 2011
- Requirements apply to manufacturers, packagers, distributors, recyclers, and sellers of antifreeze but exempt motor vehicle sales containing coolant and wholesale containers of 55 gallons or more
