Latest version.
  • 1.  It shall be the duty of the
      commissioner or  his  or  her  duly  authorized  agent  to  sample  each
      different  brand  of agricultural liming material distributed within the
      state, to such an extent as he or she may deem  necessary  to  determine
      compliance with the provisions of this article.
        A  sample to be designated official shall be one taken in the presence
      of the supplier or a person responsible to  the  supplier.  Such  sample
      shall,   in   the   presence   of  the  witness,  be  divided  into  two
      representative samples, each sealed, and  one  of  such  sealed  samples
      shall  be tendered, and if accepted, delivered to the witness; the other
      sealed sample the commissioner shall analyze or cause to be analyzed.
        2. The results of the  analysis  of  each  official  sample  shall  be
      promptly reported by the commissioner to the registrant. In the event an
      official  sample  shall  analyze below the guarantee, the registrant may
      within   twenty   days   submit   evidence   that   the    sample    was
      non-representative  or  erroneous.  If  no  satisfactory  evidence is so
      submitted the report of analysis shall become official.
        3. The commissioner shall publish or cause to be  published  at  least
      annually the results of all analyses indicating the information required
      to  be  shown  on  labels and statements pursuant to section one hundred
      forty-two-cc  of  this  article  and  such  other  information  as   the
      commissioner shall deem advisable.
