## Chapter 107-02-01 — Recovery of Funds

### § 107-02-01-01. Recovery of grant funds relating to pesticide registration.

North Dakota Century Code section 4-35-06.2 authorizes the board to accept funds received from
expenses paid relating to the registration of pesticides. In attempting to recover funds, when possible,
the board may receive royalties, license fees, or other intellectual property rights on the sale or lease of
any product, process, or service developed in whole or in part with a minor use pesticide fund grant.
Such agreement will be negotiated at the time of the grant award and will be structured so that the
board may recover at least a portion of its investment of public funds. Repaid grant funds must be
deposited in the minor use pesticide fund to pay expenses relating to the registration of pesticides or for
the specific purpose negotiated between the board and grantee. If a grantee agrees to repay funds on
the condition that such repayments shall be allocated toward a specific purpose, such specific purpose
must be within the statutory authority of the board.
History: Effective August 1, 2002.

### § 107-02-01-02. Acceptance of donations to the board.

North Dakota Century Code section 4-35-06.2 authorizes the board to accept donations offered to
or for the benefit of the board. If a person donates funds on the condition that such donations shall be
allocated toward a specific purpose, such specific purpose must be within the statutory authority of the
board. The board encourages agricultural organizations to assist in providing funding, in-kind services,
or materials for laboratory studies and investigations concerning the registration of pesticides for minor
crops, minor uses, or other uses that would benefit the organizations. The board may request that a
company, whose product is registered with the assistance of these funds, make a donation to the minor
use pesticide fund.
