## Text

There are two classes of pesticide registration fees as follows: (1) Basic. All pesticide products are classified as basic pesticides, solely for determination of the annual registration fee. The classification may not affect a pesticide's state or federal classification as a general use pesticide or a restricted use pesticide. All registrants shall pay an annual basic registration fee of one hundred seventy-five dollars for each product registered. This fee may not be increased except by an act passed by the General Assembly other than the annual appropriations bill. This fee must be used to support the general regulatory enforcement and education programs of the Division of Regulatory and Public Service. (2)(a) Special. In instances where identifiable types of pesticides require regulatory activities exceeding those provided by the general regulatory program, the director in consultation with pesticide registrants shall prepare and submit to the legislature a report containing: (i) the identity of the particular types of pesticides and a listing of such pesticides which warrant special regulatory activity; (ii) an evaluation and explanation of the special regulatory activity necessary, the approximate duration, and the costs of implementing and maintaining this activity; (iii) a recommendation of the appropriate allocation of these costs; and (iv) a recommendation of a special registration fee to collect the necessary amount to be paid by the registrants to fund the special regulatory activity. (b) All special fees collected must be devoted exclusively to the special regulatory activities for which they were established and are not subject to any direct or indirect charges, costs, or assessments by any state agency. Special fees must be terminated when the special regulatory activities which these fees support are no longer required.
