The Structural Pest Control Board meeting held on October 1, 2025, focused on the petition of Jeremy Budden, who sought to modify or terminate his probation related to his applicator's license. The meeting was presided over by Administrative Law Judge Christopher Dietrich, with Deputy Attorney General Stephanie Lee representing the state.

Budden's petition was significant as it stemmed from a past conviction for first-degree murder in 1995, which led to the issuance of his applicator's license under probation terms. Budden, who was released from parole in April 2023, argued that he had demonstrated rehabilitation and was entitled to have his probation lifted. He currently works for Moxie Pest Control but is on medical leave due to an accident.

During the hearing, Budden confirmed that he was seeking to have both his applicator's and field representative's licenses removed from probation. He expressed his desire to pursue further licensure and career advancement within the pest control industry. The board members were particularly interested in his rehabilitation efforts and progress since his release.

After Budden's presentation, the board closed the record and will issue a written decision in the future. The meeting concluded with no further questions from the board, and Budden was excused. The outcome of this petition could have significant implications for Budden's career and future opportunities in the pest control field.
