Any person engaging in the business of scale repairing or testing shall obtain a license annually from the State Director of Weights and Measures upon showing that he is qualified to repair or test scales and that he meets all requirements of the National Institute of Standards and Technology Handbook 44 and supplements thereto or in any publication revising or superseding Handbook 44. The annual cost of such license shall be One Hundred Dollars ($100.00) for scale service-repair companies and Fifty Dollars ($50.00) for scale service repairmen, which shall be collected by the director and paid into the State Treasury, and shall expire on the thirtieth day of June next after its issuance.

Any person so licensed shall, within three (3) days after he adjusts, repairs, services, restores to service or places in service any scale, make a report thereof to the Director of Weights and Measures on a form provided by the Department of Agriculture and Commerce.

All such fees collected shall be paid into the General Fund in the State Treasury.
