    AN ACT concerning safety.
 
    Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
represented in the General Assembly:
 
    Section 5. The Illinois Pesticide Act is amended by
changing Section 13 as follows:
 
    (415 ILCS 60/13)  (from Ch. 5, par. 813)
    Sec. 13. Pesticide dealers. Any pesticide dealer who sells
Restricted Use pesticides shall be registered with the
Department on forms provided by the Director. Beginning July 1,
2005, any pesticide dealer that sells non-restricted use
pesticides for use in the production of an agricultural
commodity in containers with a capacity of 2.5 gallons or
greater or 10 pounds or greater must also register with the
Department on forms provided by the Director. Registration
shall consist of passing a required examination and payment of
a $100 registration fee. The late application fee for a
pesticide dealer registration shall be $20 in addition to the
normal pesticide dealer registration fee. A pesticide dealer
shall be assessed a fee of $5 for a duplicate registration.
    Dealers who hold a Structural Pest Control license with the
Illinois Department of Public Health or a Commercial
Applicator's license with the Illinois Department of
Agriculture are exempt from the registration fee but must
register with the Department.
    Each place of business which sells restricted use
pesticides or non-restricted pesticides for use in the
production of an agricultural commodity in containers with a
capacity of 2.5 gallons or greater or 10 pounds or greater
shall be considered a separate entity for the purpose of
registration.
    Registration as a pesticide dealer shall expire on December
31 of each year. Pesticide dealers shall be certified in
accordance with Section 9 of this Act.
    The Director may prescribe, by rule, requirements for the
registration and testing of any pesticide dealer selling other
than restricted use pesticides and such rules shall include the
establishment of a registration fee in an amount not to exceed
the pesticide dealer registration fee.
    The Department may refuse to issue or may suspend the
registration of any person who fails to file a return, or to
pay the tax, penalty, or interest shown in a filed return, or
to pay any final assessment of tax, penalty, or interest, as
required by any tax Act administered by the Illinois Department
of Revenue, until such time as the requirements of any such tax
Act are satisfied.
