Mo. Code Regs. tit. 2 § 70-25.050

Current through Register Vol. 49, No. 21, November 1, 2024.
Section 2 CSR 70-25.050 - [Effective until 1/1/2025] Review of Certification or License

PURPOSE: This rule provides for review of licenses by the director as provided for in section 281.110, RSMo 1986. The reason for this rule is to allow the director to determine whether or not denial or revocation procedures should be invoked on an individual whose license has been denied or revoked or who has been convicted in criminal or civil action in another state or by the federal government for misuse of pesticides. This rule is needed to keep unscrupulous pesticide applicators and dealers from continuing business by seeking harborage in another state.

(1) The director may investigate the need for hearings to deny, suspend, revoke or modify a license, certification or permit. These investigations may extend to license qualifications and possible violations of the Missouri Pesticide Use Act.
(2) Additional training or reexamination of certified commercial applicators, certified noncommercial applicators and certified public operators shall be required within three
(3) years from initial certification and within each subsequent three (3)-year period. Additional training shall pertain to maintaining competence and meeting the needs of changing technology in the safe and proper use of pesticides.
(3) Additional training of certified private applicators shall be required within five (5) years from initial certification and within each subsequent five (5)-year period. This training shall pertain to maintaining competence and meeting the needs of changing technology in the safe and proper use of agricultural pesticides.
