Introduced

SB 622 - Under current law, the fee for registering a pesticide in Missouri is $15 per year. This act increases the fee to $150 plus one-fifth of 1% of the product's annual gross sales in Missouri up to a maximum total fee of $1,500 per product.

Under current law, there is a late charge of $5 assessed for any pesticide not registered by January 1st. This act increases the late charge to $50.

The act creates the Pesticide Fee Fund into which all but $15 of the pesticide registration fee will be deposited, and all but $5 of any late fees will be deposited. The $15 and $5 portions will continue to be deposited in the general revenue fund as under current law. Funds placed into the Pesticide Fee Fund shall be used for program administration by the Department of Agriculture.
