1. To obtain a
license to use a weighing or measuring device as commercial weighing and
measuring equipment or as cannabis weighing and measuring equipment, an
applicant must provide to the Division information concerning the device,
including:
(a) The date on which the device
was purchased or installed;
(b) The
manufacturer and model or type of the device;
(c) The address where the device is located;
and
(d) The name of the person who
installed the device.
2.
Except as otherwise provided in this section, upon receiving the information
pursuant to subsection 1 about a weighing or measuring device, the Division
will, as soon as practicable, inspect the device. If the Division determines
that the device meets all the applicable standards and the applicant has paid
the applicable fees, the Division will issue a license for the device to be
used as commercial weighing and measuring equipment or as cannabis weighing and
measuring equipment.
3. The
Division may waive the initial inspection of a weighing or measuring device
required pursuant to subsection 2 if the Division determines that the device
was adjusted after installation by a person who is registered with the Division
pursuant to
NRS
581.103 to adjust such a device. If the
Division waives the initial test, the Division will:
(a) Immediately issue a license for the
weighing or measuring device to be used as commercial weighing and measuring
equipment or as cannabis weighing and measuring equipment; and
(b) As soon as practicable thereafter,
inspect the device to ensure that it meets all the applicable
standards.
4. If a
weighing or measuring device fails an inspection conducted pursuant to
subsection 3, the Division will immediately suspend the license issued for the
device. If, during the period for which the license was issued, the device:
(a) Passes a reinspection conducted by the
Division, or is otherwise approved for use by the State Sealer of Measurement
Standards, the Division will reinstate the license.
(b) Fails to pass a reinspection conducted by
the Division, the Division may revoke the license.
5. A license issued for a weighing or
measuring device to be used as commercial weighing and measuring equipment or
as cannabis weighing and measuring equipment is valid from September 1 or the
date on which it is issued, whichever is later, until the next following August
31.
6. If a weighing or measuring
device used as commercial weighing and measuring equipment was approved by the
Department for use on or after July 1, 2003, but before January 27, 2004, a
license shall be deemed to have been issued for the device by the Division
pursuant to this section, effective on the date on which the device was
approved for commercial use.
