MichiganMichigan would require accuracy checks for commercial measuring equipment
If HB 4678 also becomes law, Michigan would require accuracy checks for business measuring equipment and allow referrals of suspected oil-sale violations at registered repair shops.
What it does
The director would inspect and test equipment businesses use to measure goods sold or service charges. Qualified dispensers could use a separate testing process if they meet federal and state requirements.
State motor vehicle officials could refer a repair shop's suspected violation of oil-sale rules to the department. The department could oversee that violation only after a referral.
Argument forRepair shops may get a clearer path for handling suspected oil-sale violations because state motor vehicle officials can refer them to the department.
Argument againstBusinesses could need to make commercial measuring equipment available for accuracy checks, which may add work even when dispensers qualify for a separate testing process.
More detail
The director would inspect and test weights and measures used in business to check their accuracy. The equipment must be used to determine the amount of goods sold or the charge for services. Qualified dispensers would not need each device tested if they meet section 28g and applicable U.S. Department of Transportation rules.
The secretary of state could refer a suspected oil-sale rule violation by a repair facility to the department. This applies to motor vehicle repair facilities registered under state law. The department could oversee a repair facility for an oil-sale violation under this act only after the secretary of state refers the matter.
