(1) A blue tag indicating "Work Order" shall be placed on any commercial weighing or measuring device that in the judgment of the commissioner is out of tolerance or in need of minor repairs. Repairs shall be made within thirty days, and, if not so made, the device shall be removed from commercial use. If the repairs cannot be completed or the device cannot be placed into service due to delay in obtaining parts or other justified circumstances, the commissioner may extend the time limit for repair or placing in service for a reasonable time.

(2) A red tag indicating "CONDEMNED" shall be placed on any commercial weighing or measuring device that is to be removed from use. A wire seal may be so placed as to make the device unusable in any form. A device that has been condemned pursuant to this subsection (2) shall not be used for any commercial purpose.

(3) (a) A tag indicating "no license fee paid" shall be placed on any commercial weighing or measuring device that the owner is not licensed to operate. A wire seal may be so placed as to make the device unusable in any form. A device on which a "no license fee paid" tag has been placed shall not be used for any commercial purpose. A "no license fee paid" tag need not be placed on devices that are being held for resale and are not being used.

(b) When a weighing or measuring device is found in a commercial establishment, it shall be prima facie evidence that said device is being used or employed. If the owner of any such device does not have a license for its use, the device shall have a "no license fee paid" or "not approved for commercial use" tag attached.

(4) (Deleted by amendment, L. 2009, (SB 09-113), ch. 88, p. 333, § 19, effective April 2, 2009.)

(5) The commissioner shall promulgate rules to clarify the circumstances under which a blue or red tag should be issued.
