BILL NUMBER:S5477
Title of bill
An act to amend the environmental conservation law, in relation to certain fees for pesticide applicator certification
Purpose
To amend the environmental conservation law to bring parity within the fee structure for businesses obtaining a permit for commercial pesticide application.
Summary of provisions
Section one amends paragraph b of subdivision 2 of section 33-0911 of the environmental conservation law, as amended by section 3 of part YY of chapter 59 of the laws of 2009, to lower the cost of fees related to certifying for a commercial pesticide applicator for subcategory 3A and 38 from two hundred dollars, to one hundred and fifty dollars.
Section two provides that this act shall take effect on the thirtieth day after it shall become a law.
Justification
Currently, New York State law mandates a fee of $200 per year for a class 3A and 3B certified commercial pesticide applicators. In contrast, all other certified commercial pesticide applicators and technicians are required to pay $450 for a three year period. Therefore, this legislation would lower the 3A and 3B fees to $150 per year to bring parity within the fees charged to all certified commercial pesticide applicators and technicians.
Fiscal implications
Minimal
Effective date
Thirty days after it has become a law.
