MO HB138

Increases minimum surety bond or liability insurance requirement from $25,000 to $50,000 per occurrence for certified commercial pesticide applicators

Eliminates requirement to submit proof of financial responsibility to the department for license renewals; applicators must instead maintain documentation at their business location for inspection

Requires surety bonds or liability insurance certificates be available for director inspection during regular business hours, or copies must be furnished within 10 working days of written request

Mandates insurers notify the director within 20 days prior to any cancellation or reduction of a surety bond or liability insurance policy

Failure to execute a new bond or insurance policy within 60 days of expiration requires the licensee to satisfy all requirements as if never previously licensed
