To Whom Licenses Are Issued

PURPOSE: This rule explains who shall be licensed under Chapter 281, RSMo 1986. The reason for this rule is to clarify that in all cases an individual rather than the business entity will be licensed. Chapter 281, RSMo requires all holding licenses to have proven competence through examination or training courses. Only an individual is capable of meeting these requirements. (1) Licenses issued under the Missouri Pesticide Use Act (the Act) are issued to the individual and not to business entities. Licenses issued under the Act are valid anywhere in Missouri, provided that the licensee notifies the director in writing within ten (10) days of any change of name, business name, address, or any other information affecting licenses issued under sections 281.010—281.115, RSMo. (2) No license shall be issued to any individual not of legal age. (3) Nonresident licenses shall be issued in accordance with the provisions for resident licenses, except as provided for in section 281.075, RSMo. (4) Licenses are not transferable to any individual or business. AUTHORITY: section 281.030, RSMo Supp. 2024.* Original rule filed May 12, 1976, effective Oct. 21, 1976.
