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.
