1. Before selling or offering for sale any pesticide for use within this state, a person shall
file biennially with the commissioner an application for registration of the pesticide. The
application must:
a. Give the name and address of each manufacturer or distributor.
b. Give the name and brand of each product to be registered.
c. Be accompanied by a current label of each product to be registered.
d. Be accompanied by a registration fee of three hundred fifty dollars for each
product to be registered.
e. Be accompanied by a material safety data sheet for each product to be
registered.
2. The commissioner may require an applicant or registrant to provide efficacy, toxicity,
residue, and any other data necessary to determine if the pesticide will perform its
intended function without unreasonable adverse effects on the environment. If the
commissioner finds the application conforms to law, the commissioner shall issue to
the applicant a certificate of registration of the product.
3. Each registration covers a designated two-year period beginning January first of each
even-numbered year and expiring December thirty-first of the following year. A
certificate of registration may not be issued for a term longer than two years, and is not
transferable from one person to another, or from the ownership to which it is issued to
another ownership. A penalty of fifty percent of the license or registration fee must be
imposed if the license or certificate of registration is not applied for on or before
January thirty-first following the expiration date. Each product must go through a
two-year discontinuance period in order to clear all outstanding products in the
channel of trade.

has been paid by the manufacturer, jobber, or any other person, as required by this
section.
5. At the close of each calendar month, the commissioner shall transmit to the state
treasurer all moneys received for the registrations under this section. The state
treasurer shall credit the registration fees to the environment and rangeland protection
