§ 12407 Pesticide Broker Licensing Fraud

This law says anyone who must have a pesticide broker license can’t lie or hide important facts when they apply for the license, renew it, report to the director, or talk about the products they sell.

Key Takeaways

  • •Tell the truth on all license applications and renewals.
  • •Be honest in any reports you send to the director.
  • •Never lie or hide facts about the pesticide products you sell or distribute.

Example

A pesticide broker fills out a renewal form and says they have never been fined for selling bad chemicals, even though they were actually fined last year.

Because the broker gave a false statement on the renewal, they are breaking the law.
