Sec. 22a-48. Registration required. Exceptions. Categorization of pesticides.
(a) Except as otherwise provided by this part, subsection (a) of section 23-61a or section
23-61b, no person may distribute, sell, offer for sale, hold for sale, ship, deliver for
shipment or receive and, having so received, deliver or offer to deliver, to any person
in this state any pesticide which is not registered with the commissioner, provided a
pesticide which is not registered with the commissioner may be transferred if (1) the
transfer is from one plant in this state to another plant in this state operated by the same
producer solely for packaging at the second plant or for use as a constituent part of
another pesticide produced at the second plant; or (2) the transfer is pursuant to and in
accordance with the requirements of an experimental use permit.
(b) Pesticides shall be categorized for registration purposes as follows: (1) Specialty
pesticides, which include, but are not limited to, any disinfectant, sanitizer, germicide,
biocide and any other pesticide which is registered by the United States Environmental
Protection Agency and labeled for use directly on humans or pets and any pesticides
which are specifically registered by the United States Environmental Protection Agency
and labeled pursuant to FIFRA for use in or around household premises including, but
not limited to, lawn, garden and ornamental sites or areas; and (2) commercial pesticides,
which include, but are not limited to, all restricted use pesticides as determined by
the United States Environmental Protection Agency or the commissioner and all other
general use pesticides not categorized as specialty pesticides. Such categories shall be
based on the information provided under section 22a-49 and shall be indicated by the
applicant upon registration. All fees for both pesticide categories shall be equal and
nothing in this subsection shall require additional evaluation or certification unless required by the commissioner.

(a); P.A. 02-89 amended Subsec. (a) to replace reference to "sections 23-61b to 23-61d, inclusive" with reference to "section
23-61b", reflecting repeal of Sec. 23-61d by the same public act.
