AI Summary
This bill updates the Weights and Measures Act by making several key changes to how weighing and measuring devices are regulated in Nebraska. The bill updates references to the National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) Handbooks from the 2019 to the 2025 versions, which provide technical standards for commercial weighing and measuring devices. The bill modifies the fee structure for device registration, increasing fees across various device categories and introducing a new administrative fee of 50% (up from 25%) for late payments. It removes the previous one-time permit fee and simplifies permit application requirements. The bill also adjusts language around permit requirements for establishments with permanent and non-permanent locations, removing the specific requirement to return permits when a business closes. Additionally, the bill clarifies that if fees remain unpaid after 90 days, the weighing and measuring establishment permit becomes void. These changes aim to update regulatory standards, adjust fee structures, and streamline administrative processes for weights and measures establishments in the state.
