If the license is not renewed within 60 days after the expiration date, then the licensee may again be required to take another examination, unless there is some unavoidable circumstance which results in the delay of the renewal of any license issued under this part which was not under the applicant’s control.(2) The department shall require all certified applicators to provide evidence of continued competency through the implementation of a recertification program set forth by rule.

However, no penalty shall be assessed when the official sample was taken from a pesticide that was in the possession of a consumer for more than 45 days after the date of purchase by that consumer or when the product label specifies that the product should be used by an expiration date that has passed. Procedures for assessing penalties shall be established by rule, based on the degree of the deficiency.

If the penalty is not paid within the prescribed period as established by rule, the department may deny, suspend, or revoke the registration of any pesticide.(3) If a pesticide is found to be ineffective, it shall be deemed to be misbranded and subject to a penalty in the Class III category pursuant to s. 570.971 for each violation.(4) If a pesticide is found by the department to be of short measure while in the possession of the consumer, the registrant shall make payment in full to the consumer in an amount consistent with procedures to be established by rule.History.—s. 1, ch. 65-457; ss. 14, 35, ch. 69-106; s. 439, ch. 71-136; s. 4, ch. 82-106; s. 100, ch. 83-218; s. 20, ch. 84-338; s. 5, ch. 90-65; ss. 21, 37, ch. 92-115; s. 17, ch. 94-233; s. 24, ch. 2000-154; s. 36, ch. 2004-64; s. 22, ch. 2014-150.
