Each case is important and we will investigate to the extent possible. You may be personally contacted by division personnel for further information. A victim has the right to file action under civil law to collect monetary damages, also with our agency to request legal penalty. Written statements are signed and witnessed on our forms to give individuals the opportunity to express their viewpoints.
Details involved in the incident are necessary for effective enforcement action.
The Kansas Department of Agriculture cannot recover any monetary damages for you. In addition, some services provided by pesticide business licensees, such as some types of inspections, are not under the jurisdiction of the Kansas Pesticide Law and Regulations. Pesticide residue analysis results are sent when available from our laboratory. At the conclusion of any enforcement action, all information obtained is available as public record. Due to the lack of enforcement potential and costs of analysis, samples will not be collected unless a formal complaint is signed.
