Article 3. Registration of California Food And Agricultural Code >> Division 6. >> Chapter 6. >> Article 3.

Each agricultural pest control adviser who makes any recommendation for agricultural use shall register in person with the agricultural commissioner in the county listed in the adviser's address on the license issued pursuant to Article 2 (commencing with Section 12021) or with the director if the county does not have an agricultural commissioner. If the address of the adviser on the state license is not within this state, the registration shall be in the county of occupational choice. Registration in any additional county shall be made by mail or in person, at the discretion of the commissioner of the additional county. The additional registration by mail shall be made on prescribed forms which may be obtained and processed in the county listed in the address of the adviser on the state license or the county of occupational choice, as the case may be.

Registration shall be renewed annually by all agricultural pest control advisers.

County boards of supervisors may set fees for registration to cover the cost of registering pest control advisers, but in no case shall the fee total more than ten dollars ($10) per year for a pest control adviser to register in person in the county listed in the adviser's address on the license issued pursuant to Article 2 (commencing with Section 12021) or the county of occupational choice, as the case may be, and five dollars ($5) per year for an adviser to register in an additional county as provided in Section 12031.

A pest control adviser registration may be refused, revoked, or suspended by the agricultural commissioner. Cause for such refusal, revocation, or suspension may be for the same reasons prescribed in Section 12023 for the refusal, revocation, or suspension for a pest control adviser license.
