This bill amends the Weights and Measures Act of 1964 by updating sections 10 and 28c to enhance the inspection and testing processes for weights and measures used in commercial transactions. The director is granted the authority to inspect and test all weights and measures offered for sale to ensure their accuracy, with specific provisions for devices that are designed for single use and those that are mass-produced. The bill introduces a new definition for "qualified dispenser," which allows for certain exemptions from individual device inspections if the dispenser complies with existing regulations.

Additionally, the bill incorporates the 2023 editions of the NIST handbook 130 and 44, establishing new standards for the method of sale, packaging, labeling, and compliance for commercial weights and measures. It specifies that the buying and selling of liquefied petroleum gas can be conducted at a flat rate, provided the price is clearly posted. Furthermore, it outlines that motor vehicle repair facilities are subject to oversight by the secretary of state, with specific referral processes for violations related to oil sales. The enactment of this bill is contingent upon the passage of another related bill in the legislature.
