HB 2097 -- WEIGHTS AND MEASURES (Copenhaver)

This bill brings Missouri's Weights and Measure Law into
conformity with the Uniform Weights and Measure Law drafted by
the National Conference on Weights and Measures.

Current provisions which assess a penalty of 1% per month on the
unpaid balance of fees for inspection of measuring devices and a
$100 penalty for fees 90 days or later are removed.

Currently, penalties assessed and collected by the Director of
the Department of Agriculture are to be deposited in the General
Revenue Fund.  The bill requires penalties assessed to be
deposited in the State Schools Moneys Fund.

FISCAL NOTE:  Estimated Net Income to State School Moneys Fund of
$1,000 to $2,000 in FY 2003, FY 2004, and FY 2005.  Estimated Net
Cost to General Revenue Fund of $1,000 to $2,000 in FY 2003, FY
2004, and FY 2005.
