The pesticide application business shall commence twenty-four-hour prior notification of pesticide application immediately upon receipt of a request for notification, notwithstanding the date the person submitting the request is included in the registry maintained by the commissioner. Except as provided in subdivision (c) (2) of this section, the pesticide application business shall continue to provide such notification for a minimum of three years from the date the request for notification was received, and may discontinue notification at that time only if it gives the person who submitted the request no less than thirty days' prior notice of its intention to discontinue notification and the person's right to renew his or her request.(c)(1) The commissioner shall maintain a registry of persons who have submitted requests for notification to a pesticide application business or to the commissioner.

In 1991, requests received after February 1 shall be included in the 1992 registry. In years thereafter, requests received after January 1 shall be included in the next year's registry.(2) The commissioner may periodically send a notice to persons listed on the registry requesting that if they wish to remain on the registry they must submit the information specified in subsection (a) to the Pesticide Management Division within a specified number of days. The commissioner may delete from the registry any person who does not submit the required information by the required date. A pesticide application business may discontinue providing notification to any person who the commissioner deletes from the registry in accordance with this paragraph. Any person deleted from the registry may submit a new request for notification in accordance with subsection (a) of this section, and notice shall be provided to such person in accordance with this section.(3) The commissioner shall provide a copy of the notification registry to all registered pesticide application businesses. Any pesticide application business that has not received a copy of the registry by April 15 of each year shall notify the commissioner in writing of that fact on or before April 30 of that year.(4) Upon receipt of the registry, a pesticide application business shall thereafter, until the registry is replaced, provide notice to any owner or tenant on the registry who abuts a property to be treated. When the registry is replaced by the commissioner, the pesticide application business shall provide notice to any owner or tenant on the replacement registry who abuts a property to be treated.(d)(1) Any notice provided pursuant to subsection (b) of section 22a-66a of the general statutes, including any notice placed on a door in accordance with that subsection, shall include but not be limited to: (A) the common name of the pesticide likely to be applied;(B) the location of the pesticide application;(C) the date and approximate time of the pesticide application;(D) the name, address and telephone number of the pesticide application business applying the pesticide;(2) A pesticide application business shall provide notice in accordance with section 22a-66a(b) of the general statutes. If the pesticide application is not made on the date specified in the notice, the pesticide application business shall notify the owner or tenant of any change in application date at least twenty-four hours prior to the amended date for pesticide application.(3) For each notification or attempted notification, a pesticide application business shall keep a record of the date, name of person notified or attempted to be notified and the method of notification or attempted notification.
