AN ACT TO AMEND SECTION 46-13-80, CODE OF LAWS OF SOUTH CAROLINA, 1976, AS AMENDED, RELATING TO EXPIRATION AND RENEWAL OF LICENSES OF PESTICIDE DEALERS, SO AS TO PROVIDE THAT IF ANY LICENSE IS NOT RENEWED BY MAY FIRST OF EACH YEAR INSTEAD OF MARCH FIRST SUCH LICENSEE SHALL BE REQUIRED TO TAKE ANOTHER EXAMINATION.

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of the State of South Carolina:

Licenses of Pesticide Dealers

Section 1. Section 46-13-80 of the 1976 Code, as last amended by Section 10 of Act 180 of 1979, is further amended by striking on line ten "March" and inserting "May". The section as amended shall read:

"Section 46-13-80. All licenses provided for in this chapter shall expire on December thirty-first of the year dated to expire and any person holding a current valid license may renew such license upon payment of applicable fees and without reexamination. The Director shall by regulation establish provisions (which shall not include re-examination) unless required to do so under federal law to ensure that certified applicators continue to meet the requirements of changing technology and to ensure a continuing level of competence and ability to use pesticides safely and properly. If any license is not renewed by May first of each year, such licensee shall be required to take another examination. If application for renewal of any license is not filed prior to January first of each year a penalty of twenty-five percent of the original fee shall be assessed."

Time effective

Section 2. This act shall take effect upon approval by the Governor.
