"Webinar on Proposed Licensing Fee Increase, May 2, 2024
The Department of Pesticide Regulation (DPR) is holding a webinar on Thursday, May 2, 2024, at 11:00 a.m. (PDT) to share information, answer questions, and receive feedback from license holders and other stakeholders on the department's intent to increase licensing and certification fees to a level that supports the current and future business needs of the licensing and certification program.
Background
The California Food and Agricultural Code section 11502.5 requires the director to set fees for the licensing and certification program including license and certificate examination, application, and renewals. The fees are set at an amount that the revenue generated supports the cost of the program.
Current licensing and certification fees are not sufficient to support the work of the licensing and certification program and it is necessary to raise licensing application, exam, renewal fees.
Webinar Date and Access Information
A webinar to discuss this proposal will be held on:
Thursday, May 2, 2024, from 11:00 a.m. to 12:00 p.m. PDT.
The webinar will be offered through the remote webinar service Zoom to allow participants to provide an oral question or comment. Prior to the webinar, DPR will distribute through our email list the Zoom participation information and an agenda with the information about the proposal, and open a 30-day public comment period.
During the public comment period and during the webinar, questions and comments may be sent to LicenseFeeChange@cdpr.ca.gov. If
