§ 15-16-5-58 — Pesticide business license and pest inspector license; financial responsibility

Indiana § 15-16-5-58

• Jurisdiction: Indiana
• Art. 16: HORTICULTURE CONTROL
• Ch. 5: Pesticide Use and Application

Text

(a) The state chemist may not issue a
pesticide business license or a pest inspector license until the applicant
for the license has furnished a surety bond, a certificate of liability
insurance in force, or a certificate of financial responsibility to protect
persons who may suffer legal damages as a result of the pesticide
operations or pest inspections of the applicant. If the surety bond,
liability insurance, or financial responsibility is not maintained at all
times during the licensing period, the pesticide business license, pest
inspector license, and any associated commercial applicator licenses
and technician registrations are invalid. The applicant may not engage
in or profess to be engaged in the business of using pesticides or pest
inspection until the financial responsibility is in compliance and the
applicant's license is reinstated by the state chemist.
(b) This chapter does not relieve any person from liability for any
damage to the person or property of another caused by the use of
pesticides even though the use conforms to the rules adopted under this
chapter.
