- (a) If an official manure based fertilizer analysis conducted by the state chemist under this chapter results in a determination that the registrant of a manure based fertilizer is subject to a penalty or other legal action under this chapter, the state chemist shall forward a report of the results of the analysis to the registrant at least thirty (30) days before the report is submitted to the purchaser of the manure based fertilizer. However, if the manure based fertilizer analysis was requested by a person other than the state chemist, the results of the analysis must be forwarded to the registrant and purchaser immediately. If, during the thirty (30) day period, the state chemist does not receive adequate evidence contesting the results in the report, the report becomes an official report at the end of the thirty (30) day period.
- (b) Upon the registrant's request, the state chemist shall furnish to the registrant part of the manure based fertilizer sample analyzed by the state chemist that was used to determine that the registrant was subject to a penalty or other legal action under this chapter.
