(a)
(1) It is unlawful for any person to distribute in this state any of the following:
(A) Any pesticide which has not been registered under:
(i) The provisions of this subchapter; or
(ii) The provisions of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act, 7 U.S.C. § 136 et seq.;
(B) Any pesticide if any of the claims made for it or any of the directions for its use or other labeling differs from the representations made in connection with its registration, or if the composition of a pesticide differs from its composition as represented in connection with its registration. A change in the labeling or formulation of a pesticide may be made within a registration period without requiring reregistration of the product if the registration is amended to reflect the change and if the change will not violate any provision of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act or this subchapter;
(C) Any pesticide unless it is in the registrant's or the manufacturer's unbroken immediate container and there is affixed to the container, and to the outside container or wrapper of the retail package if there is one through which the required information on the immediate container cannot be clearly read, a label bearing the information required in this subchapter and the regulations adopted under this subchapter. The State Plant Board may designate that certain specified economic poisons may be sold by the manufacturers or dealers in bulk, in which case the label information required and any other statements required by this subchapter must be stated in or attached to the invoice. In addition, a copy of the invoice must be given to the purchaser at the time the economic poison is delivered;
(D) Any pesticide which has not been colored or discolored under the provisions of § 2-16-406(a)(4) or of Section 25(c)(5) of the Federal Insecticide, Fungicide, and Rodenticide Act, 7 U.S.C. § 136w(c)(5);
(E) Any pesticide which is adulterated or misbranded or any device which is misbranded; and
(F) Any pesticide in containers which are unsafe due to damage.
(2) However, this subsection shall not apply to:
(A) Any carrier while lawfully engaged in transporting a pesticide within this state if the carrier shall, upon request, permit the board to copy all records showing the transactions in and movement of the pesticides or devices;
(B) Public officials of this state and the federal government while engaged in the performance of their official duties in administering state or federal pesticide laws or regulations or while engaged in pesticide research;
(C) The manufacturer or shipper of a pesticide for experimental use only by or under the supervision of an agency of this state or of the federal government authorized by law to conduct research in the field of pesticides if the manufacturer or shipper holds a valid experimental-use permit as provided for by § 2-16-409 or by the United States Environmental Protection Agency; or
(D) Any person who ships a substance or mixture of substances being put through tests, in which the purpose is only to determine its value for pesticide purposes or to determine its toxicity or other properties, from which the user does not expect to receive any benefit in pest control from its use.
(b) It shall be unlawful for any person to:
(1) Detach, alter, deface, or destroy, wholly or in part, any label or labeling provided for in this subchapter or in regulations adopted under this subchapter or to add any substance to or take any substance from a pesticide in a manner that may defeat the purpose of this subchapter or the regulations adopted hereunder;
(2) Use for his or her own advantage or to reveal, other than to the board, to properly designated state or federal officials, to employees of the state or federal executive agencies, to the courts of the state in response to a subpoena, to physicians, or in emergencies to pharmacists and other qualified persons for use in the preparation of antidotes, any information relative to formulas of products acquired by authority of § 2-16-407 or any information judged by the board as containing or relating to trade secrets or commercial or financial information obtained by authority of this subchapter and marked as privileged or confidential by the registrant;
(3) Handle, transport, store, display, or distribute pesticides in such a manner as to endanger man and his or her environment or to endanger food, feed, or any other products that may be transported, stored, displayed, or distributed with the pesticides;
(4) Dispose of, discard, or store any pesticides or pesticide containers in such a manner as to cause injury to humans, vegetation, crops, livestock, wildlife, or beneficial insects or to pollute any water supply or waterway; or
(5) Refuse or otherwise fail to comply with the provisions of this subchapter, the regulations adopted hereunder, or any lawful order of the board.
(c) No person shall transport, store, or dispose of any pesticide or pesticide containers in such a manner as to cause injury to humans, vegetation, crops, livestock, wildlife, or beneficial insects or to pollute any waterway in a way harmful to any wildlife therein. The board may promulgate rules and regulations governing the storing and disposal of pesticides or pesticide containers. In determining these standards, the board shall take into consideration any regulations issued by the United States Environmental Protection Agency.
(d) No pesticide or device shall be deemed in violation of this subchapter when intended solely for export to a foreign country, and when prepared or packed according to the specification or directions of the purchaser. If not so exported, all the provisions of this subchapter shall apply.
