Sec. 22.1. Pesticide Control Fund. There is hereby created in the State Treasury a special fund to be known as the Pesticide Control Fund. All registration, penalty and license fees collected by the Department pursuant to this Act shall be deposited into the Fund. The amount annually collected as fees shall be appropriated by the General Assembly to the Department for the purposes of conducting a public educational program on the proper use of pesticides, for other activities related to the enforcement of this Act, and for administration of the Insect Pest and Plant Disease Act.
However, the increase in fees in Sections 6, 10, and 13 of this Act resulting from this amendatory Act of 1990 shall be used by the Department for the purpose of carrying out the Department's powers and duties as set forth in paragraph 8 of Section 19 of this Act. The monies collected under Section 13.1 of this Act shall be deposited in the Agrichemical Incident Response Fund. In addition, for the years 2004 and thereafter, $125 of each pesticide annual business registration fee and $50 of each pesticide product annual registration fee collected by the Department pursuant to Section 6, paragraph 6 of this Act shall be deposited by the Department directly into the State's General Revenue Fund.
