| AN ACT concerning regulation.
|
| 2 |
| Be it enacted by the People of the State of Illinois,
|
| 3 |
| represented in the General Assembly:
|
| 4 |
| Section 5. The Weights and Measures Act is amended by |
| 5 |
| changing Section 10 as follows:
|
| 6 |
| (225 ILCS 470/10) (from Ch. 147, par. 110)
|
| 7 |
| Sec. 10. Inspection.
|
| 8 |
| (a) Unless otherwise provided by law, the Director may
|
| 9 |
| inspect and
test all weights and measures held, offered, or |
| 10 |
| exposed for sale to
ascertain if they are correct. |
| 11 |
| (b) Except as otherwise provided in subsection (c) of this
|
| 12 |
| Section
43, the Director shall, within each period of 12 months |
| 13 |
| or more
frequently if necessary, inspect and test all law |
| 14 |
| enforcement scales used to
determine vehicle weights and
all |
| 15 |
| weights and measures
commercially used (1) in determining the |
| 16 |
| weight, measurement, or count of
commodities or things sold or |
| 17 |
| offered or exposed for sale on the basis of
weight, measure, or |
| 18 |
| count or (2) in computing the basic charge or
payment
for |
| 19 |
| services rendered on the basis of weight, measure, or count to
|
| 20 |
| ascertain if they are correct. However, with respect to |
| 21 |
| single-service
devices (meaning those designed to be used |
| 22 |
| commercially only once and then
discarded) and devices |
| 23 |
| uniformly mass-produced, as by means of a mold or
die, and not |
| 24 |
| susceptible to individual adjustment, such tests may be
made
on |
| 25 |
| representative samples of these devices. The lots
of which such
|
| 26 |
| samples are representative shall be held to be correct or |
| 27 |
| incorrect upon
the basis of the results of the inspections and |
| 28 |
| tests on the
samples. |
| 29 |
| (c) In the case of the testing of gasoline pumps used in |
| 30 |
| the retail or wholesale sale of gasoline, the Director must |
| 31 |
| accomplish the required annual testing by assigning the |
| 32 |
| statewide task to Department-certified private technicians or |
