§ 12812 Product Registration Fees
This law lets the director set fees for the pesticide registration program – like yearly fees for each product, late‑payment penalties, and fees to change a product’s registration – and makes sure the money collected each year covers the program’s costs.
A pesticide company files a new product for registration and has to pay the annual registration fee. If they pay late, they also pay a penalty. The money they pay goes into the Department of Pesticide Regulation Fund to keep the registration program running.
The department will charge the company the fee set by the director, add any late‑payment penalty if needed, and use that money to fund the registration program as required by the law.
Total Revenue = Σ (Annual fee per product + Late‑payment penalties + Amendment fees) = Annual budget amount for the registration program
The department needs $120,000 for the program and expects 60 products to be registered this year with no penalties or amendment fees.
Result: Annual fee per product = $120,000 ÷ 60 = $2,000 each
