Structural Pest Control Advisory Committee Meeting
The committee meeting included standard agenda items such as the review and approval of previous minutes, specifically those from the July 24th meeting. A significant portion of the discussion involved reviewing enforcement data for the fourth quarter of FY25 (June 1 to August 31, 2025), noting 22 Notices of Violations (NOVs), with the highest being for operating without a business license. The committee also reviewed the annual enforcement data for FY25 (September 1, 2024, through August 31, 2025), which included 283 NOVs, with 86 related to operating without a license. There was an extensive discussion clarifying the distinctions between 'mislication of a pesticide' and 'use inconsistent with labeling,' as well as detailing the criteria for citing incomplete pesticide use records (requiring six out of nine items to be missing for enforcement action, unless structural fumigation or commercial pre-treats are involved). The committee also reviewed inspection data for the fiscal year, noting compliance rates for commercial, non-commercial, and school district inspections, and discussed common non-compliance issues in schools, such as IPM coordinator designations and missing required approvals.

Structural Pest Control Advisory Committee Minutes
The meeting included a review of Inspection and Enforcement Data for the 4th Quarter and Fiscal Year 2025, noting that commercial and noncommercial inspection goals were exceeded. Discussions covered common causes of non-compliance in schools, such as lacking an IPM coordinator. Federal updates were minimal. A significant portion of the meeting involved a presentation and discussion regarding business insurance requirements for 1099 contracted individuals, emphasizing the distinction between independent contractors and employees, and the need for proper licensing and insurance coverage for subcontractors. The committee also discussed potential rule changes related to door-to-door sales, requiring license display or inclusion on sales contracts, and registration/supervision for call-center employees, ultimately deferring the remote worker topic. A quadrennial rule review covered several sections related to on-the-job training, contract documentation, termite disclosure requirements, and IPM Coordinator training/certification standards.
