Kentucky · Weights, Measures, and Millers' Tolls · §§ 363.010 to 363.991 · 85 sections

Overview

The act governs the accuracy and honesty of commercial weighing and measuring, placing responsibility in a dedicated state division that inspects, tests, and seals measuring devices used in trade. It gives particular attention to grain moisture measuring devices, requiring comparative testing and official approval before such devices may be used in buying and selling grain. Funding comes from dedicated accounts supported by inspection and examination fees, and compliance is backed by penalties, recovery of enforcement costs, and recordkeeping requirements.
