214.11 INSPECTIONS -- RECALIBRATIONS -- PENALTY.
The department of agriculture and land stewardship shall provide
for annual inspections of all motor fuel pumps licensed under this
chapter. Inspections shall be for the purpose of determining the
accuracy of the pumps' measuring mechanisms, and for such purpose the
department's inspectors may enter upon the premises of any wholesale
dealer or retail dealer, as they are defined in section 214A.1, of
motor fuel or fuel oil within this state. Upon completion of an
inspection, the inspector shall affix the department's seal to the
measuring mechanism of the pump. The seal shall be appropriately
marked, dated, and recorded by the inspector. If the owner of an
inspected and sealed pump is registered with the department as a
servicer in accordance with section 215.23, or employs a person so
registered as a servicer, the owner or other servicer may open the
pump, break the department's seal, recalibrate the measuring
mechanism if necessary, and reseal the pump as long as the department
is notified of the recalibration within forty-eight hours, on a form
provided by the department. A person violating a provision of this
section is, upon conviction, guilty of a simple misdemeanor. Section History: Recent Form
