3-344. Advisory committee; membership;
appointment; duties; uniformity of labeling and standards of
pesticides
A. The director may appoint an advisory committee as needed to assist and advise
the director and associate director in adopting technical rules. The director shall
designate the chairman. Meetings of the committee shall be held upon call of the
associate director or director. Members of the committee shall serve without
compensation, but shall be entitled to reimbursement for expenses of travel and
subsistence incurred in the performance of their duties which shall be paid from and
limited by the pesticide fund.
B. In order to avoid confusion endangering the public health, which would result
from diverse requirements, particularly as to the labeling and coloring of pesticides,
and to avoid increased costs to the public due to the necessity of complying with such
diverse requirements in the manufacture and sale of such pesticides, it is desirable that
there should be uniformity between the requirements of the several states and the federal
government relating to such pesticides. To this end, the director may after a hearing
adopt rules applicable to and in conformity with primary standards established by this
article as have been or may be prescribed by federal agencies with respect to pesticides.
