HB 1701 -- Weights and Measures

Sponsor:  Seigfreid

Currently, the Director of the Department of Agriculture
establishes a fee schedule for metrology calibration and
precision calibration based on the previous year's fee
collections which are not to exceed the cost of operating the
metrology laboratory for the ensuing year.  This bill requires
that as of January 1, 2001, the director is to fix the rate
schedule at a rate not to exceed $60 per hour but not less than
$25 per hour for precision calibration.

The bill also removes the fee schedule for scales, taximeters,
and vehicle tank meters.
