§ 12814 Pesticide Sales Fee Exemption

This law says that if a county, state, or federal officer or employee sells a pesticide for the same price they bought it (no profit), they don’t have to pay the fee that the chapter normally requires.

Key Takeaways

  • •Only officers or employees of county, state, or federal government are covered.
  • •The exemption applies only when the pesticide is sold at cost (no profit).
  • •When the condition is met, the seller does not have to pay the chapter’s fee.

Example

A state park ranger buys a bottle of weed killer for $10 and sells it to a local farmer for $10.

Because the ranger sold the pesticide at cost, the law says the ranger doesn’t have to pay the usual fee that would be charged for selling pesticides.
