Most states register pesticides on an annual basis.
There are a few, however, that register products on a multiple-year basis. Most states will accept all of EPA's required registration data when they register for that state and simply require a registration fee. Other states, for example California, may require additional information on a product before it can be registered in that state. Therefore, as you may guess, not all products are registered in all states. In addition, there are the strange situations in which a product sold by a distributor may be registered in a state, but the parent product may not be registered in that state.
