Universal Citation: LA Admin Code XXV-123

Current through Register Vol. 50, No. 9, September 20, 2024

A. Any change in a licensee's status (e.g., death, retirement, prolonged illness, merger of companies, sale, change of ownership, etc.) shall be reported to the department, in writing, within 14 days after the change in status occurs by the permittee or primary licensee.

B. When any change in status occurs, provisions shall be made for supervision at any location where there is no licensee during the interim until another licensee is approved by the commission or commission staff for examination. The person in charge of the permitted location where the change in status occurred shall notify the department, in writing, of the name and address of the licensee providing supervision during the interim within 14 days after the change occurs. Supervising licensee shall notify the department of his acceptance of this supervision within 14 days of his acceptance.

C. When the change in status results in no licensee being domiciled at a permitted location, an applicant who is eligible for licensure shall be approved by the commission or commission staff for examination either:

1. at the next meeting of the commission after the change in status occurs; or

2. within 90 days after the change in status occurs, whichever is later. During this period no use of restricted-use pesticides is permitted.

D. When the change of status is within the same company, there is no grace period.

E. When the death or disability of a licensee occurs, resulting in no licensee being domiciled at the permitted location, the commission or commission staff may extend the period for qualifying a new licensee for an additional 90 days before revoking or canceling the permit for operation.

F. During the temporary absence of the licensee, the permittee/licensee shall designate another licensee(s), certified in the same phases as the licensee, to perform the duties that require the physical presence of a licensee for a period of time not to exceed 30 days. For the purpose of this Chapter, temporary absence shall mean any absence where the licensee would reasonably be expected to return to his duties. The licensee shall notify the department in writing of any such temporary absence giving the name of the substituting licensee jointly responsible with the licensee, and the dates of the temporary absence.
