Existing federal law establishes various requirements for the registration, distribution, sale and use of pesticides. (7 U.S.C. §§ 136 et seq.) Sections 1, 3 and 4 of this bill update certain references to existing federal law relating to pesticides. Existing law prohibits, in general, any natural person from using pesticides or otherwise engaging in pest control without a license as an applicator issued by the Director of the State Department of Agriculture. (NRS 555.280, 555.285) Section 2 of this bill clarifies that “pest control” includes certain activities of a city, county, state or other governmental agency, thereby clarifying that employees of such agencies who engage in pest control are required to obtain a license from the Director. Existing law prohibits a person from selling, offering to sell, distributing or delivering a restricted-use pesticide unless the person is registered with the Director. Existing law also requires each person registered with the Director to maintain a record of each sale and distribution of restricted-use pesticides for 2 years. (NRS 586.406) Section 4 of this bill requires that such records be kept at each place of business at which a person sells or distributes restricted-use pesticides.
