(a) The board may recommend to the general
assembly the addition, deletion, or reclassification of pesticides by
submitting in an electronic format under IC 5-14-6 a report of the
recommendations to the legislative council. In making a determination
to add or reclassify a pesticide as a restricted use pesticide for all of
Indiana or designated areas within Indiana, the board must find that the
characteristics of a pesticide require that rules restricting the:
(1) sale;
(2) distribution; or
(3) use;
of the pesticide by any person are necessary to prevent undue hazards
to persons, animals, wildlife, lands, or waters, other than the pests that
they are intended to prevent, destroy, control, or mitigate. The board
shall publish the board's findings in the Indiana Register.
(b) The board may adopt rules under IC 4-22-2 to do the following:
(1) Provide for the safe:
(A) handling;
(B) transportation;
(C) storage;
(D) display;
(E) distribution;
(F) disposal; and
(G) production;
of pesticide products and pesticide containers.
(2) Restrict or prohibit the use of certain types of containers or
packages for specific pesticides. The restrictions may apply to the:
(A) type of construction;
(B) strength; or
(C) size;
to alleviate danger of spillage, breakage, or misuse.
(3) Determine the time and conditions of the:
(A) sale;
(B) distribution; or
(C) use;
of restricted use pesticide products.
(4) Require that any or all restricted use pesticide products be
purchased, possessed, or used only under:
(A) permit;
(B) certificate;
(C) license; or
(D) registration;
of the state chemist or under certain conditions or in certain
quantities or concentrations.
(5) Require all persons issued:
(A) permits;
(B) certificates;
(C) licenses; or
(D) registrations;
under this subsection to maintain records as to the use of the
restricted use pesticide products.
(c) The state chemist shall maintain a list of each class of pesticides
adopted by Indiana law or board rule on the website for the state
chemist. Failure to include a pesticide on the list does not exempt a
person from compliance with a law or rule for a pesticide designated
by law or rule.
