Provides relative to the issuance of certification cards for commercial applicators, pesticide salespersons, and agricultural consultants

Complete·5/11/26

Modifies certification issuance for commercial applicators, pesticide salespersons, and agricultural consultants in Louisiana.

Louisiana HB505 amends existing law to change the issuance of certification cards for commercial applicators, pesticide salespersons, and agricultural consultants. Certification cards will now be issued every three years instead of annually, aligning with the certification renewal period. The commissioner must establish categories and subcategories for certification, along with specific standards for each. Certification is valid for three years and must be renewed according to rules adopted by the commissioner.
