Pest Control Professionals: On April 14, 2011 Governor Haslam approved the changes for House Bill 1240 regarding 62-21-102
(22) which now reads as listed. This change became effective on April 14, 2011.
“Under the direct supervision” means any application or sale of a pesticide by a certified applicator acting under the instructions and
control of a private applicator, commercial applicator or commercial pest control operator who is available if and when needed, if the ap-
plicator or operator is physically present or in the direct communication by conventional means of communication.
**Certification Information: Anyone holding an active certification MUST have accrued at least 1 ceu in that category BEFORE Octo-
ber 21, 2013, because you cannot earn all your required ceu’s in only one certification year. Even if you became certified in October of
last year, you still MUST earn 1 ceu before October 21, 2013. Applicators becoming certified after October 21, 2013, within the 3rd year
of the certification cycle, must earn ceu’s at more than one meeting because you cannot earn more than 75% of your total point require-
ment at any one school. If you should have any questions, please give our certification section a call.
@School attendance registration is now online! If your school has been submitted in time for a confirmation letter to be sent to
you before your school is held, then you will see at the bottom of the confirmation letter an option to register your school’s attendees on
the day of the meeting, via the internet, and will be able to automatically generate the paper form (one copy must be sent to TDA while a
second copy is for your records). This option does not apply to schools approved for multiple dates at various locations. All you need is an
internet-connected computer and a printer at your school’s registration desk. Your secure login and password are included in the con-
firmation letter. PLEASE NOTE: If you are not using @School, you are still required to submit the necessary hand-written roster, just like
always. Also, if the roster is NOT entered on the actual date of the meeting or if technical problems occur, you must submit your written
roster as usual by mail or by fax 615-837-5012. @School points will be credited within 24 hours online.
