RULE ANALYSIS

Purpose of the rule or reason for the change:

Changes are being proposed in the rule to implement new requirements of H.B. 132 from 2007 Legislative Session. (DAR NOTE: H.B. 132 (2007) is found at Chapter 370, Laws of Utah 2007, and was effective 04/30/2007.)

Summary of the rule or change:

This amendment modifies Subsection R68-7-6(8) to allow all applicators to license in the public health category and not just state, federal, or other governmental employees. In Subsection R68-7-8(A)(1), the change requires pesticide applicator business to be licensed for each business location where applicators are located. In Subsections R68-7-8(A)(2) and (B)(2) and (C)(2), a person getting less than 65% on the exam must wait 3 days before retesting on that exam. Subsection R68-7-11(20) makes it unlawful to refuse or neglect to register a pesticide applicator business. Subsection R68-7-11(21) makes it unlawful to handle or apply any pesticide without having an appropriate complete and legible pesticide label on hand.

State statutory or constitutional authorization for this rule:

Section 4-14-6

Anticipated cost or savings to:

the state budget:

There will be no cost to state government because no new employees will be hired and will be done with existing employees.

local governments:

There will be no involvement with local government, therefore there will be no cost to local government.

small businesses and persons other than businesses:

All pesticide applicator businesses will be required to be registered and pay a fee between $75 - $300, depending on their size.

Compliance costs for affected persons:

All pesticide applicator businesses will be required to be registered and pay a fee between $75 - $300, depending on their size.

Comments by the department head on the fiscal impact the rule may have on businesses:

This new law will require all pesticide applicator businesses to be registered with the Department. Implementation of this law will enable the Department to provide better protection to the environment and public health of the citizens by tracing companies involved with applying pesticide products. Businesses will be required to pay a registration fee, but costs are minimal compared to the increased protection that will be provided. Leonard M. Blackham, Commissioner
