The applicant shall include a license fee established by rule with the application for a license. The application shall be made on a form prescribed by the director.
Each pesticide dealer shall submit records to the director of all of the restricted use pesticides the pesticide dealer has distributed, as specified by the director, and duplicate records shall be retained by the pesticide dealer for a period of time established by rules.
(B) This section does not apply to any federal, state, county, or municipal agency that provides pesticides for its own programs.
