Sec. 43. (a) Except as provided in subsection (c), a political subdivision (as defined in IC 36-1-2-13 ) may not regulate the advertising, labeling, distribution, sale, transportation, storage, or use of seed.       (b) A political subdivision may, by resolution, petition the state seed commissioner for a hearing to allow a waiver to adopt an ordinance because of special circumstances relating to the advertising, labeling, distribution, sale, transportation, storage, or use of seed. If a petition is received, the state seed commissioner shall hold a public hearing to consider granting the waiver requested. The public hearing must be conducted in an informal manner. IC 4-21.5 does not apply to a public hearing under this section.       (c) If the state seed commissioner, after a public hearing under subsection (b), grants a political subdivision's petition for a waiver, the political subdivision may regulate the advertising, labeling, distribution, sale, transportation, storage, or use of seed to the extent allowed by the waiver.
