Summary

The bill increases the maximum fees counties can charge for registering pest‑control businesses and related professionals, setting new caps of $75 for a home‑county business and $50 for each additional county. It also establishes stepped fee schedules for aircraft pilots, advisers, and structural pest‑control companies, with higher limits beginning in 2029. By allowing counties to collect higher fees, the measure aims to better cover the costs of processing registrations.
