HB 1019 clarifies the South Dakota Secretary of Agriculture's authority to cancel pesticide registrations by requiring a hearing process before doing so. The bill specifies that cancellations can occur when a pesticide doesn't comply with state pesticide laws or rules, or when the product is adulterated or misbranded.
This bill does not directly amend codified state law.
This amendment fundamentally REDIRECTS the bill from removing knowledge and intent requirements in pesticide distribution violations to instead revising general pesticide registration and cancellation procedures. The engrossed version strips out all the substantive changes to pesticide sales laws (sections on knowingly/willfully distributing adulterated pesticides and unregistered products) and replaces them with technical amendments to the secretary's authority to cancel registrations and allow formula changes.
The amendment reorganized and clarified the pesticide registration cancellation statute by restructuring the conditions into a numbered list format and removing redundant language about the secretary's authority to cancel registration, making the provision more concise without changing its substantive meaning. This is primarily a technical/formatting change that NARROWS the language for clarity rather than altering the bill's regulatory purpose.
