Sec. 9. (a) The Indiana pesticide review board may adopt interim rules under IC 4-22-2-37.2 to classify a pesticide as a restricted use pesticide, if the Indiana pesticide review board finds that adoption of the interim rule is necessary to prevent an undue and immediate hazard to persons, animals, wildlife, lands, or water, other than the pests that the pesticide is intended to prevent, destroy, control, or mitigate.
(b) The Indiana pesticide review board may adopt interim rules under IC 4-22-2-37.2 to impose a restriction or requirement on the storage, distribution, use, application, or record keeping for a restricted use pesticide that is more stringent than the restriction or requirement imposed under federal law if the Indiana pesticide review board finds that weather, soil, or other conditions in Indiana impact the effectiveness or safety of the storage, distribution, use, application, or record keeping of the restricted use pesticide in a manner that differs from federal law generally.
(c) The Indiana pesticide review board may adopt interim rules under IC 4-22-2-37.2 to impose a restriction or requirement on the storage, distribution, use, application, or record keeping for a restricted use or general use pesticide that is more stringent than the restriction or requirement imposed under federal law if the Indiana pesticide review board receives a written request from the registrant of the applicable pesticide.
(d) Unless specifically authorized by Indiana law under IC 15-16-5-72, an interim rule authorized under this section expires on adjournment sine die of the regular session of the general assembly that begins after the rule is accepted for filing by the publisher of the Indiana Register and may not be continued in another interim rule.
