DESCRIPTION
This act repeals authorized fees for services rendered by the Department of Agriculture for scale testing, certification of taximeters and vehicle tank meters, and inspection of timing devices, fabric-measuring devices, cordage-measuring devices and milk plant quantity determinations. Fees for calibrations and registration of other devices will continue to be collected according to current practice.
This legislation is not federally mandated, would not duplicate any other program and would not require additional capital improvements or rental space.
