SEC. 69-21-113. Licensing of aerial applicators [Repealed effective June 30, 2006].
(1) It shall be unlawful and a misdemeanor for any person to act, operate or do business as an applicator or pilot, or to engage in agricultural aircraft operations, unless such person has an applicator's or pilot's license issued by the board. Such license shall be issued only upon application therefor to the board on a form prescribed by the board. The application shall contain information regarding the applicant's qualifications and proposed operations, and such other information as may be specified by the board.
(2) Applicator's and pilot's licenses are not transferable. Licenses shall be effective for a period of one (1) year. Any licensee wishing to have a license renewed must submit an application for renewal with the board no later than ninety (90) days before the expiration of the license. If the applicant submits a timely and complete application for renewal, and the board, through no fault of the applicant, fails to reissue the license on or before the expiration date of the existing license, the existing license shall remain in effect until final action on the renewal application is taken by the board. Licenses are subject to modification, revocation or reissuance for cause at any time during the effective dates of the license.
(3) Any person seeking to obtain a license as an applicator in this state shall submit proof of payment of all ad valorem and other taxes which might be applicable on aircraft and other equipment.
(4) All persons licensed under the provisions of this article shall be known as registered applicators or pilots, and shall be issued a certificate by the board as proof thereof.
