The information demonstrating financial responsibility must be submitted on forms approved by the department. The licensee must provide a complete copy of the insurance policy upon written request from the department. The applicator has the duty and responsibility to ensure that the policy obtained provides damage coverage for every pesticide proposed to be applied during the licensing period. In the event the applicator's proposed policy of insurance contains exclusions against coverage of one or more pesticides the applicator proposed to apply, then and in that event, the applicator may submit the proposed insurance policy to provide such coverage as it affords. The applicator must, in addition, provide evidence of financial responsibility to indemnify the public against pesticide damage arising out of the use, misuse, or attempted use of each and every pesticide proposed to be used or applied which is excluded from coverage of the proposed liability insurance policy. The amount of additional coverage must be in the minimum amount required under ARM 4.10.101.
