Effective July 1, 2024, the Indiana General Assembly enacted Senate Enrolled Act No. 216, amending and clarifying the requirements for direct supervision of noncertified applicators using Restricted Use Pesticides (RUPs).

SEA #216 aligns Indiana’s regulations with federal requirements established in 40 CFR §171.201, which outlines the conditions for direct supervision under federal law.

Please review the updated Applicator Supervision summary.   

According to a 2009 U.S. Court ruling, any pesticide (herbicide, weed killer, insecticide, algaecide, mosquito adulticide or larvicide, molluscicide, disinfectant, etc.), applied in, over or near waters of the state that results in at least some pesticide residue entering that water is considered a point source discharge of a pollutant and requires NPDES permit coverage to remain in compliance with the Clean Water Act. The NPDES Permit requirement became effective October 31, 2011.
