RCW 15.58.180
Pesticide dealer license -- Generally.
(Effective until January 1, 2009.)
(1) Except as provided in
subsections (4) and (5) of this section, it is unlawful for any
person to act in the capacity of a pesticide dealer or advertise
as or assume to act as a pesticide dealer without first having
obtained an annual license from the director. The license shall
expire on the master license expiration date. A license is
required for each location or outlet located within this state
from which pesticides are distributed. A manufacturer,
registrant, or distributor who has no pesticide dealer outlet
licensed within this state and who distributes such pesticides
directly into this state shall obtain a pesticide dealer license
for his or her principal out-of-state location or outlet, but
such licensed out-of-state pesticide dealer is exempt from the
pesticide dealer manager requirements.
(2) Application for a license shall be accompanied by a fee
of fifty dollars and shall be made through the master license
system and shall include the full name of the person applying for
the license and the name of the individual within the state
designated as the pesticide dealer manager. If the applicant is
a partnership, association, corporation, or organized group of
persons, the full name of each member of the firm or partnership
or the names of the officers of the association or corporation
shall be given on the application. The application shall further
state the principal business address of the applicant in the
state and elsewhere, the name of a person domiciled in this state
authorized to receive and accept service of summons of legal
notices of all kinds for the applicant, and any other necessary
information prescribed by the director.
(3) It is unlawful for any licensed dealer outlet to operate
without a pesticide dealer manager who has a license of
qualification. The department shall be notified forthwith of any
change in the pesticide dealer manager designee during the
licensing period.
(4) This section does not apply to (a) a licensed pesticide
applicator who sells pesticides only as an integral part of the
applicator's pesticide application service when such pesticides
are dispensed only through apparatuses used for such pesticide
application, or (b) any federal, state, county, or municipal
agency that provides pesticides only for its own programs.
(5) A user of a pesticide may distribute a properly labeled
pesticide to another user who is legally entitled to use that
pesticide without obtaining a pesticide dealer's license if the
exclusive purpose of distributing the pesticide is keeping it
from becoming a hazardous waste as defined in chapter 70.105 RCW.
