(b) The department may require the applicant to submit the complete formula for a pesticide, including active and inert ingredients, as a prerequisite to registration.

(c) The department may require a full description of the tests made and the results of the tests on which claims are based before approving registration of a pesticide that is not registered under federal law or for which federal or state restrictions on use are being considered.

(d) A person located outside this state, as a condition to registration of a pesticide, shall file with the department a written instrument designating a resident agent for service of process in actions taken in the administration and enforcement of this chapter.
