The bill amends Section 38-20A-13 of South Dakota's pesticide laws, granting the secretary the authority to cancel the registration of a pesticide following a hearing as outlined in chapter 1-26. The cancellation can occur if the secretary finds that the pesticide or its labeling fails to comply with the relevant provisions or rules, or if it is deemed adulterated or misbranded.

This revision aims to enhance regulatory oversight of pesticides, ensuring that products meet safety and labeling standards. By clarifying the conditions under which a pesticide's registration can be canceled, the bill seeks to protect public health and the environment from potentially harmful substances.
