Georgia repeals egg-specific food rules

Georgia repeals the code article covering egg standards, labeling, and rules against adulteration. The repeal also removes that article's enforcement powers and penalties. Egg businesses lose those legal requirements, while consumers lose the protections those rules provided. The law creates no replacement egg rules and leaves other food provisions in place. The available text gives no effective date, and specific household effects remain unclear.
