76-4-24. Surety bond or insurance required of commercial pesticide applicators.
The department shall not issue a commercial pesticide applicator license until the applicant has furnished evidence of financial responsibility with the department consisting either of a surety bond or a liability insurance policy or certification thereof, protecting persons who may suffer legal damages as a result of the operations of the applicant. However, the surety bond or liability insurance policy need not apply to damages or injury to land being worked upon by the applicant. The department shall not accept a surety bond or liability insurance policy except from authorized insurers or surplus line brokers authorized to do business in the state.
A. The amount of the surety bond or liability insurance as provided for in this section shall be set by the board. The surety bond or liability insurance shall be maintained, at a sum not less than that specified by the board, at all times during the license period. The department shall be notified ten days prior to any reduction made at the request of the applicant or cancellation of the surety bond or liability insurance by the surety or insurer. The department may accept a liability insurance policy or surety bond in the proper sum which has a deductible clause in an amount prescribed by the board. If the applicant has not satisfied the requirements of the deductible amount in any prior legal claim, such deductible clause shall not be accepted by the department unless the applicant furnishes the department with a surety bond or liability insurance which shall satisfy the amount of the deductible pertaining to all claims that may arise in his application of pesticides.
B. The applicator license shall, whenever the surety bond or insurance policy of the licensee is reduced below the requirements of the Pesticide Control Act and regulations adopted pursuant thereto, be automatically suspended until the surety bond or insurance policy again meets these requirements. The department may retrieve the license plates or decal of the licensee during the period of automatic suspension and return them only when the licensee has furnished the department with written proof that he is again in compliance.
C. Nothing in the Pesticide Control Act shall be construed to relieve any person from liability for any damage to the person or lands of another caused by the use of pesticides, even though such use conforms to the rules and regulations of the board.
