Bill > HB2806

This bill updates the license fees for commercial weighing and measuring instruments administered by the State Department of Agriculture, increasing existing fees across multiple categories of devices such as discrete weighing devices, continuous weighing systems, liquid-fuel metering devices, and special liquid-fuel measuring equipment. The bill permanently allows the department to annually increase license fees by up to three percent, with the ability to round fees to the next whole dollar amount. Additionally, for two specific fiscal years (beginning July 1, 2026 and July 1, 2027), the department is authorized to increase license fees by up to 10 percent beyond the standard three percent limit, subject to maximum fee caps outlined in the bill. For example, fees for discrete weighing devices will increase from $49 to $68 for devices not over 400 pounds, and from $307 to $404 for devices over 60,000 pounds. The bill also repeals a previous temporary provision related to fee increases and ensures that all collected fees are paid into the Department of Agriculture Service Fund for administering testing, inspection, licensing, and regulation of commercial weighing and measuring instruments.
