A registration shall expire on December 31 of the year it is issued. (b) The registrant shall submit to the Director at the time of application for registration a copy of the label and any advertising literature for the soil amendment. Upon approval by the Director, the registrant shall be furnished a certified copy of the registration. Before registering any soil amendment, the Director shall require evidence to substantiate the claims made for the soil amendment and proof of the value and usefulness of the soil amendment ingredient. (c) The Director may, by rule, set the minimum amount of a soil amendment ingredient and soil amendment ingredients that must be present before a soil amendment product can be registered and distributed in this State. (d) A distributor shall not be required to register a soil amendment product that is already registered under this Act if the label does not differ in any respect.
