13:1F-15. Pesticide held, used, distributed, sold or offered for sale or delivered for transportation or transported in intrastate commerce; annual registration; renewal; denial, refusal to register or cancellation; grounds a. Every pesticide which is held, used, distributed, sold, or offered for sale within this State or delivered for transportation or transported in intrastate commerce or between points within this State through any point outside this State shall be registered annually with the department. All registrations of products shall expire on December 31, following date of issuance, unless such registration shall be renewed annually, in which event the expiration date shall be extended for each year of renewal registration, or until otherwise terminated; provided, that within the discretion of the commissioner, or his authorized representative, a change in the labeling or formula, of a pesticide may be made within the current period of registration, without requiring a re-registration of the product; b. Each registrant, before selling or offering for sale a pesticide in this State, shall register each branch of pesticide with the department upon forms furnished by the department and shall provide the department with the information it may deem necessary; c. The department may require the complete formula of any pesticide; d. If it does not appear to the department that the product is such as to warrant the proposed claims for it or if the product and its labeling and other material required to be submitted do not comply with the provisions of this act or the rules and regulations issued thereunder, the registrant shall be notified of the manner in which the product, labeling, or other material required to be submitted fails to comply with this act or the rules and regulations issued thereunder, so as to afford the registrant an opportunity to make the necessary corrections. If, after receipt of such notice, such corrections are not forthcoming, the department shall deny registration; e. The department is authorized and empowered to refuse to register, or to cancel the registration of, any brand of pesticide as herein provided, upon satisfactory proof that the registrant has been guilty of fraudulent and deceptive practices in the evasion or attempted evasion of the provisions of this act or any rules and regulations promulgated thereunder; provided, that no registration shall be revoked or refused until the registrant shall have been given a hearing by the department; f. Nothing in this act shall be construed to restrict or prohibit sales or exchanges of pesticides to each other by importers, manufacturers, or manipulators who mix pesticide materials for sale or as preventing the free and unrestricted shipment of pesticides to manufacturers or manipulators, who have registered their brands as required by the provisions of this act. L.1981, c. 538, s. 3, eff. Jan. 12, 1982.
