The Office of Indiana State Chemist has recently migrated its data handling application software to a new vendor. This software handles our pesticide licensing and registration information. Due to the change in systems the look and feel of the public search functions (what you use to find your records and CCH programs) will be different. The functionality will be the same, however the appearance of the data will be different. This notice is to alert our clients of the change that will occur on December 3, 2018.
