Pesticide Control Act
New Mexico · Agriculture · §§ 76-4-1 to 76-4-9.1 · 41 sections
Overview
This act regulates the manufacture, labeling, distribution, sale, and use of pesticides and related devices, along with the people and businesses that sell or advise on them. It establishes a registration system for pesticide products — with fees, renewal requirements, and grounds for refusing, suspending, or canceling a registration — and defines when a product is misbranded or adulterated. It also creates licensing requirements for pesticide dealers, structural pest inspectors, and pest control consultants, and gives the administering state agency rulemaking authority plus enforcement tools including stop-sale orders, inspection and sampling procedures, recordkeeping duties, civil penalties, license revocation, and criminal liability for violations.
