1. A person may not distribute, sell, or offer for sale within this state or deliver for 
transportation or transport in intrastate commerce or between points within this state 
through any point outside this state any of the following:
a. Any pesticide that has not been registered under section 4.1 -34-03, or any 
pesticide if any of the claims made for it or any of the directions for its use differ in 
substance from the representations made in connection with its registration, or if 
the composition of a pesticide differs from its composition as represented in 
connection with its registration. The commissioner may allow a change in the 
labeling or formula of a pesticide to be made within a registration period without 
requiring reregistration of the product.
b. Any pesticide unless the pesticide is in:
(1) The registrant's or the manufacturer's unbroken immediate container; or
(2) A container repackaged by a facility or person with a United States 
environmental protection agency issued establishment number, and there is 
affixed to such container, and to any outside container or wrapper of the 
retail package, a correct copy of the required labeling information from the 
immediate container or there is in the outside container or wrapper an 
opening through which the required labeling information on the immediate 
container can be clearly read.
c. The pesticide commonly known as standard lead arsenate, basic lead arsenate, 
calcium arsenate, magnesium arsenate, zinc arsenate, zinc arsenite, sodium 
fluoride, sodium fluosilicate, and barium fluosilicate unless the pesticide has been 
distinctly colored or discolored as provided by rules issued in accordance with 
this chapter, or any other white powder pesticide that the commissioner, after 
investigation of and after public hearing on the necessity for the action for the 
protection of the public health and the feasibility of the coloration or discoloration, 
by rule, requires to be distinctly colored or discolored; unless it has been so 
colored or discolored. The commissioner may exempt any pesticide to the extent 
it is intended for a particular use or uses from the coloring or discoloring required 
or authorized by this section if the commissioner determines the coloring or 
discoloring for the use is not necessary for the protection of the public health.
d. Any pesticide that is adulterated or misbranded, or any device that is misbranded.
2. A person may not detach, alter, deface, or destroy, in whole or in part, any label or 
labeling provided for in this chapter or rules adopted under this chapter, or to add any 
substance to, or take any substance from, a pesticide in a manner that may defeat the 
purpose of this chapter.
3. A person may not use for the person's own advantage or reveal other than in response 
to a proper subpoena, except to a physician or other qualified person for use in the 
preparation of an antidote, any information relative to the formula of any product 
acquired by authority of this chapter.
