      Sec. 22-141. Weighing or gaging to be by licensed weigher or gager. (a) Each person, firm or corporation engaged in the business of buying milk or cream by weight shall have such milk or cream weighed by a licensed weigher when such milk or cream is purchased or gaged by a licensed gager when such milk or cream is bought from or at a dairy farm, using a bulk milk cooling tank approved by the commissioner and currently calibrated for the measurement of milk quantity by the Commissioner of Consumer Protection.

      (b) Each licensed weigher or gager shall have his license in his possession, or available for inspection, during working hours.

      (c) The Commissioner of Agriculture may revoke any such weigher's license or gager's license for just cause. Each such license which has been revoked shall be returned to the commissioner.

      (1949 Rev., S. 3182; 1957, P.A. 359, S. 3; 1969, P.A. 20; P.A. 91-312, S. 12; June 30 Sp. Sess. P.A. 03-6, S. 146(c), (e); P.A. 04-189, S. 1.)

      History: 1969 act replaced commissioner of weights and measures with commissioner of consumer protection and substituted "or" for "and" in phrase "licensed weigher and gager"; P.A. 91-312 divided section into Subsecs., amended Subsec. (a) to require milk or cream to be weighed when "purchased" rather than when "received in a plant licensed under section 22-137" and made technical changes; June 30 Sp. Sess. P.A. 03-6 replaced separate Commissioners of Agriculture and Consumer Protection with single Commissioner of Agriculture and Consumer Protection, effective July 1, 2004; P.A. 04-189 repealed Sec. 146 of June 30 Sp. Sess. P.A. 03-6, thereby reversing the merger of the Departments of Agriculture and Consumer Protection, effective June 1, 2004.
