Summary

Existing law provides for the regulation of registered structural pest control companies by the Structural Pest Control Board. Existing law requires a registered structural pest control company to provide a specified written notice to the owner, or owner's agent, and the tenant of the premises where pest control work is to be done. Existing law authorizes the notice to be given by first-class mail, posting in a conspicuous place on the real property, or personal mail. This bill would permit notice to be given by electronic mail, in addition to the currently authorized methods, if an electronic mail address has been provided. Existing law authorizes an individual who is 18 years of age or older to apply for a license as an applicator. Existing law requires the board to ascertain the knowledge of the applicant to apply certain classes of chemicals by means of a written examination and authorizes the board to charge a fee for the examination in an amount sufficient to cover the reasonable cost of administering the exam, not to exceed $15. This bill would instead authorize the board to charge a fee in an amount sufficient to cover the reasonable regulatory cost of administering the examination, not to exceed $60. Existing law requires, as a condition of renewal of each operator's and field representative's license, that the holder submit proof of continuing education, as specified. Existing law authorizes the person, in lieu of that requirement, to take and successfully complete an examination given by the board to test his or her knowledge of development in the field of pest control since the issuance of his or her license. Existing law authorizes the board to charge a fee for the taking of an examination in each branch of pest control in an amount sufficient to cover the cost of administering the examination, but in no event to exceed $50 for each examination. This bill would authorize the board to charge a fee for administering an examination in each branch of pest control in an amount sufficient to cover the reasonable regulatory cost of administering the examination and would remove the $50 fee limit. Existing law provides a comprehensive scheme for the licensure and regulation of structural pest control operators which, among other things, sets forth a fee schedule for licensure and registration of those companies and their personnel who are engaged in structural pest control work. This bill would increase specified fees paid by structural pest control operators.
