[§486-110]  Method of sale of commodities;
general.  Except as otherwise provided in this chapter, or by firmly
established trade custom and practice, or exempted by a rule of the board:



(1)  Commodities in liquid form shall be sold by
liquid measure or weight; and



(2)  Commodities not in liquid form shall be sold by
weight, mass, volume, length, area, or by count;



provided that liquid commodities shall be sold by
weight and commodities not in liquid form shall be sold by measures other than
weight, when such methods give accurate information as to the quantity of
commodity sold.  All methods of sale shall provide accurate and adequate
quantity information that permits the buyer to make price and quantity
comparisons.  The board may adopt such reasonable rules as may be necessary to
assure that the measure of any commodity for sale reflects accurate information
and fair measurement practices to all concerned. [L 1991, c 153, pt of §6]
