Bill Summary

AN ACT To amend and reenact R.S. 3:3242(A), 3244, and 3246(A), relative to pesticide application, sale, and consultation; to provide for the issuance of certification cards for commercial applicators, pesticide salespersons, and agricultural consultants; to provide for the renewal of such certificates; and to provide for related matters.

AI Summary

This bill modifies the requirements for certification cards for individuals who apply, sell, or consult on the use of pesticides. Specifically, it changes the issuance of certification cards for commercial applicators, pesticide salespersons, and agricultural consultants from an annual basis to every three years, aligning with the existing three-year renewal period for their certifications. This means that instead of receiving a new card each year, these professionals will receive a new certification card every three years when they renew their certification, which is granted after passing an examination and is valid for three years. The bill also clarifies that commercial applicators can supervise uncertified individuals applying pesticides from the ground, but not from the air, and that pesticide salespersons can supervise uncertified individuals selling pesticides.
