Section 195. Licensing of weighmasters; duties

1. No person shall act as a
  weighmaster, issue  or  sign  any  weight  tickets,  or  carry  out  any
  functions of a weighmaster unless licensed pursuant to this section.
    2.  Upon  application,  a  weighmaster's  license may be issued by the
  commissioner  to  an  employee  of  a  person,  firm,   partnership   or
  corporation  whose  business  requires,  by  contract or otherwise, that
  materials or commodities manufactured, produced,  distributed,  sold  or
  handled by such person, firm, partnership or corporation be weighed by a
  licensed  weighmaster;  or  such  license may be issued to an individual
  engaged in the weighing of materials or commodities. The applicant shall
  furnish satisfactory evidence of good character and of ability to  weigh
  accurately  and  to  make  correct weight tickets. He shall also furnish
  evidence that he owns, leases or has access to a stationary scale within
  the state suitable for weighing  the  materials  or  commodities  to  be
  weighed  by  him  or  that  he  is regularly employed by a person, firm,
  partnership or corporation who owns, leases or  has  access  to  such  a
  scale  which  has  been  tested  and  sealed by the weights and measures
  official charged with such duty.  The  applicant  shall  pay  a  fee  of
  fifteen  dollars.  A  license  shall be for a period not exceeding three
  years and may be renewed in the  discretion  of  the  commissioner  upon
  payment  of  the  fee aforesaid. Such license shall be kept at the place
  where the weighmaster is engaged  in  weighing  and  shall  be  open  to
  inspection.  An application may be denied or a license may be revoked by
  the commissioner, after a hearing upon due notice to  the  applicant  or
  licensee, for dishonesty, incompetency, inaccuracy or a violation of the
  provisions of this article or the rules and regulations adopted pursuant
  thereto.
    3.  Each weight ticket issued by a weighmaster shall contain the date,
  full signature and license number of the weighmaster.
    4. Each weighmaster shall retain for a period of one year  a  copy  of
  every weight ticket he has issued.
    5.  No  weighmaster  shall  make  or issue a false or incorrect weight
  ticket, nor shall any person solicit him  to  do  so.  No  person  shall
  knowingly  use  a false or incorrect weight ticket. No weighmaster shall
  permit any weight ticket to be issued or used which purports to bear his
  signature and was not in fact signed by him, or which expresses a weight
  not ascertained by him.
