17         Section 5.  Subsection (3) of section 487.041, Florida

19         487.041  Registration.--

20         (3)  The department shall adopt rules governing the

21  procedures for pesticide registration and for the review of

22  data submitted by an applicant for registration of a

23  pesticide. The department shall determine whether a pesticide

24  should be registered, registered with conditions, or tested

25  under field conditions in this state. The department shall

26  determine that all requests for pesticide registrations meet

27  the requirements of current state and federal law. The

28  department, whenever it deems it necessary in the

29  administration of this part, may require the manufacturer or

30  registrant to submit the complete formula, quantities shipped

31  into or manufactured in the state for distribution and sale,

                                                   HOUSE AMENDMENT

                                               Bill No. CS/HB 2237

    Amendment No.     (for drafter's use only)





 1  evidence of the efficacy and the safety of any pesticide, and

 2  other relevant data. The department may review and evaluate a

 3  registered pesticide if new information is made available

 4  which indicates that use of the pesticide has caused an

 5  unreasonable adverse effect on public health or the

 6  environment. Such review shall be conducted upon the request

 7  of the Secretary of the Department of Health in the event of

 8  an unreasonable adverse effect on public health or the

 9  Secretary of the Department of Environmental Protection in the

10  event of an unreasonable adverse effect on the environment.

11  Such review may result in modifications, revocation,

12  cancellation or suspension of a pesticide registration. The

13  department, for reasons of adulteration, misbranding, or other

14  good cause, may refuse or revoke the registration of any

15  pesticide, after notice to the applicant or registrant giving

16  the reason for the decision. The applicant may then request a

17  hearing, pursuant to chapter 120, on the intention of the

18  department to refuse or revoke registration, and, upon his or

19  her failure to do so, the refusal or revocation shall become

20  final without further procedure. In no event shall

21  registration of a pesticide be construed as a defense for the

22  commission of any offense prohibited under this part.
