Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
present
assembly
bill
31
to
you
today,
in
keeping
with
the
department
of
agriculture's
strategic
plan
goal
of
modernizing
our
statutory
and
regulatory
authority.
This
measure
was
prepared
primarily
as
a
cleanup
bill
for
nrs
chapter
590,
which
governs
governs
motor
vehicle
fuels,
petroleum
products
and
antifreeze.
C
Section.
One
of
the
bill
adds
authority
for
the
board
of
agriculture
to
adopt
specifications
of
diesel
exhaust
fluid
commonly
known
as
def
or
death
to
nrs

diesel.
Exhaust
fluid
is
a
fluid
that
is
part
of
the
emission
controlling
catalytic
conversion
system
in
modern
diesel
diesel
vehicles.
As
diesel
exhaust
fluid
has
become
more
commonplace
in
the
market.
It
is
reasonable
to
expect
that
the
product
that
consumers
purchase
meets
established
specifications.
C
In
keeping
with
the
authority
established
in
section
1
sections,
2,
4,
9,
10,
11
and
12.
Add
language
referencing

into

sections
of
the

petroleum
products,

and

related
to

be
charged
for

to
which

Section
3
amends
nrs,
590.020
updating
existing
certain
existing
definitions,
including
amending
the
definition
of
alternative
fuels
to
include
certain
types
of
fuel
which
had
previously
been
defined
in
nevada,
revised
statutes,
chapter
486-a,
but
were
repealed
with
the
passage
of
senate
bill
42
of
the
legislative
session,
and
it
also
adds
a
definition
for
diesel
exhaust
fluid
section.

amends
nrs
by

to
grant
authority
to
the
state
board
of
agriculture
for
enforcement
of
regulations
of
diesel
exhaust
fluid
aviation
fuel
and
petroleum
heating
products.
C
In
addition,
this
section
grants
authority
to
the
board
to
adopt
regulations
imposing
fine
for
regulations
of
standards
for
diesel
exhaust
fluid
aviation
fuel
and
petroleum
heating
products.
Section
6
amends
590.073
to
remove
authority
over
establishing
specification
for
aviation
fuels
from
the
state
sealer
of
consumer
equitability.
C
Historically,
as
authority
first
establishing
specifications
for
different
petroleum
products
was
added
to
this
chapter.
Some
authority
was
granted
to
the
board
and
others
to
the
state
sealer
of
consumer
equitability.
This
change
is
meant
to
provide
consistency
and
such
authority
granting
it
exclusively
to
the
board
of
agriculture.
C
To
take
actions
when
regulated
products
are
found
to
be
out
of
compliance,
including
requiring
documentation
on
the
final
disposition
of
non-compliant
product.
This
documentation
is
necessary
so
that
the
state
sealer
of
consumer
equitability
may
confirm
that
non-compliant
product
has
not
simply
been
relocated
to
another
retail
facility
and
offered
for
sale
to
the
public.
Section.
C
Section
15
provides
transitory
authority
during
the
period
in
which
certain
authorities
and
responsibilities
are
transferred
or
established.
Pursuant
to
this
bill
and
finally,
section
16
sets
forth
the
effective
dates
for
the
bill.
Mr
chairman,
this
concludes
my
presentation.
Thank
you
again
for
the
opportunity
to
present
the
bill
to
your
committee
today.
A
D
D
C
D
I
apologize
and
I
parts
of
the
bill-
I
I'm
looking
at
ab-31
and
it
was
the
first
reprint
coming
across
from
the
assembly,
but
in
this
yeah
and
it
doesn't
make
any
sense
to
me.
We
walked
through
section
section
three
and
it
floats
right
along
until
I
get
to
it
was
section
nine,
but
now
it
is
sub
11.
pure
water
means
water.
That
is
very
low
and
inorganic.
Am
I
the
only
one
that
has
this.
C
D
C
Through
you,
mr
chairman,
to
senator
guy
cochia,
so
this
this
definition
would
be
included
here
for
purposes
of,
if,
if
we
are
adding
it
into
the
definition
of
any
of
the
other
items
which
we
are,
if
you
look
back
on
page
five
of
the
bill
at
line
21
in
the
definition
for
diesel
exhaust
fluid,
we
we
refer
to
pure
water,
and
that
is
necessary
as
we
establish
the
definitions
and
criteria
for
diesel
exhaust
fluid
to
have
those
provisions.
And
so
then
we
further
add
to
the
definitions.
D
A
I
don't
seem
to
see
any
so
I
think
we
can
go
ahead
and
proceed
as
usual,
and
I
know
we
have
a
few
folks
that
want
to
go
ahead
and
do
to
speak
when
we
get
to
testimony
so
we'll
we'll
start
in
order.
So
we
will
go
to
the
phone
lines
to
continue
testimony
and
as
a
reminder,
we
will
be
limiting
all
testifiers
to
two
minutes.
Each
testifiers
are
encouraged
to
summarize
their
positions
and
submit
more
comprehensive
testimony
in
writing.
B
B
B
E
Good
afternoon,
mr
chair
members
of
the
committee
for
the
record,
I'm
paul
enos-
I
am
the
ceo
of
the
nevada,
trucking
association,
testifying
today
in
support
of
assembly
bill
31
diesel
exhaust
fluid
is
something
that
every
diesel
engine
from
2010
onward
is
required
to
have.
After
the
after
the
emissions
come
out
of
the
engine.
They
go
into
a
diesel
particulate
matter,
and
then
you
spray
that
diesel
exhaust
fluid
on
that
and
then
through
a
selective
catalytic
reduction
process.
E
The
only
thing
coming
out
of
that
stack
is
nitrogen
and
water,
and
it's
very
important
to
make
sure
that
that
depth
is
correct,
because
if
you
don't
have
it
or
if
you
don't
have
the
right
stuff,
it
will
shut
down
the
engine
on
a
truck.
So
we
really
do
appreciate
the
department
bringing
this
bill
forward.
I
do
understand
there
is
an
amendment
that
may
be
adding
adding
a
current
tax
on
to
diesel.
At
this
point
we
do
not
have
a
position
on
that,
but
we
can
support
the
bill
as
it
stands
today.
B
A
F
Our
association
is
in
favor
of
of
the
bill,
however,
as
you're
aware
staying
rules
require
that
I,
because
I
am
proposing
an
amendment
to
speak
in
opposition,
so
my
purpose
here
today
to
offer
this
amendment
is
one
that
we
agree
or
feel
strongly
that
that
a
the
petroleum
fee,
the
inspection
fee
for
more
than
50
years,
has
been
levied
at
55.
Mills
and
and
55
mills
is
not
a
lot
of
money,
but,
of
course,
when
you're
dealing
with
large
numbers
of
gallons,
it
does
add
up.
F
F
The
marketing
of
lubricating
oils
has
changed
over
the
last
50
years.
It
used
to
be
that
oils
for
your
automobile
and
tractor
and
anything
else
were
sold
by
jobbers.
Those
were
wholesalers
in
the
community,
but
now
the
market
has
changed
and
they
vast,
I
won't
say,
majority
because
I
don't
know,
but
a
vast
amount
of
lube
oils.
Lubricating
oils
are
sold
in
big
box
stores
in
auto
parts
places
even
grocery
stores.
F
I
know
you've
all
seen
walking
down
the
aisle
of
a
grocery
store,
a
display
of
quarts
of
motor
oil,
so
that
part
of
the
market
has
never
been
picked
up
by
the
department
of
motor
vehicles
for
imposition
of
the
tax,
and
I
agreed
we.
I've
had
many
conversations
over
the
years
with
both
the
department
of
agriculture
and
and
motor
vehicles
about
this
subject,
because
it
really
for
us-
and
the
reason
I'm
here
is
a
fairness
issue,
the
the
tax
or
the
fee.
F
It
really
is
a
fee,
but
a
fee
is
a
tax
is
levied
against
petroleum
wholesalers,
because
they're
already
licensed
by
the
department
of
motor
vehicles
to
pay
the
other
taxes
on
gasoline
diesel
fuel
and
everything
else.
What's
not
included
are
the
hundreds
of
of
other
retail
outlets
that
sell
lubricating
oils.
F
So
what
what
I
want
to
do,
or
suggesting
here,
is
to
remove
the
inspection
fee
from
lubricating
oils.
Therefore,
it
frees
up
a
provision
in
the
law.
That
is
quite
honestly,
I
believe,
unenforceable
and
and
and
then
adds
diesel
fuel
which,
as
I
indicated
before,
has
never
been
part
of
of
the
inspection
fee,
and
we
think
this
strikes
a
fair
balance
between
enforcement
of
the
statute
and
maintenance
of
the
inspection
program
that
the
department
of
agriculture
labs,
so
that
are
located
both
in
sparks
and
in
las
vegas.
F
To
try
to
drive
the
point
home
that
this
inspection,
fee
and
and
process
is
important
to
fuels
and
lubricating
oils
is
that
we
have
a
situation
occurring
in
northern
nevada
as
we
sit
here.
That
goes
back
about
two
or
three
months
where
petroleum
marketers
discovered
some
kind
of
a
I'll
call
it
a
goo
for
a
lack
of
better
word,
some
kind
of
a
substance
in
the
fees
in
the
fuel
in
the
fuel.
F
F
But
it's
a
way
of
illustrating
that
diesel
fuels
are
a
recipient
of
the
hours
and
hours
and
efforts
conducted
by
the
sparks
in
this
case
or
the
las
vegas
lab
to
be
sure
that
fuels
and
lubricating
oils,
antifreeze
and
death.
Now,
if
this
bill
were
to
pass,
be
included
in
part
of
the
not
death
for
the
inspection
fee,
but
for
the
process
that
the
department
goes
through,
so
it's
not
just
a
fee
collection
mechanism
and
I'm
not
here
to
address
the
fee.
F
I'm
here
one
about
fairness
and
again
to
indicate
to
you
and
the
the.
My
final
point
is
that
petroleum
marketers
that
sell
lube
oils
in
bulk
five
gallon
and
larger
containers,
sometimes
rail
cars
from
the
mines
for
virtually
anybody,
are
paying
for
that
fee.
Now
I
believe
that
the
number
and
and
miss
matiavid
can
can
correct
my
if
I'm
correct
or
incorrect,
but
that
annual
fee
is
about
seven
hundred
thousand
dollars
today.
F
F
A
D
F
I
hadn't
that,
mr
chairman,
to
you
to
senator
gokuchi
I
I
had
not
thought
you
know
that
that
that
would
be
necessary
with
the
idea
for
if,
if
the
committee
was
to
look
favorable
upon
this
amendment,
that
would
leave
these
other
products
out
and
that
would,
of
course,
include
death.
I
don't.
I
don't
believe
that
we,
the
department
of
motor
vehicles,
the
collection
agency,
would
have
any
more
luck
collecting
on
the
sale
of
of
death
than
we
do
on
courts
of
motor
oil.
A
F
Mr
chairman,
the
reason
is
that
I
had
hoped
that
we
could
work
without
legislation
on
this
matter
and
and
unfortunately,
we're
kind
of
a
stalemate
and-
and
I
do
have
to
agree
and
and
with
the
the
department
of
motor
vehicles,
that
the
amount
of
time
and
effort
to
go
after
these
other
retailers
just
doesn't
make
sense.
So
the
fee
is
needed
and
I'm
hopeful
the
way
we
get
to
it
is
to
eliminate
these
lubricating
oils
and
and
adapt
diesel
fuel
great.
Thank
you,
sir.
F
Mr
chairman,
to
you
to
senator
hanson,
sir,
the
numbers
are
not
mine.
They
to
my
knowledge.
They
came
from
both
the
department
or
really
the
department
of
motor
vehicles.
As
far
as
the
use,
really,
I
don't
mean
to
to
put
off
my
answer.
You're.
My
answer
to
you,
but
really
again,
that
is
a
would
be
a
function
of
the
department
of
agriculture
on
the
use.
They
would
be
the
the
receiving
of
the
funds.
F
G
I
got
well,
fortunately
have
the
department
of
ag
here,
so
maybe
they
can
say
where
they,
because
essentially,
as
I
do
the
math
on
this
comes
out
to
about
another
500
about
a
half
a
million
dollars,
you
currently
get
700
000
where'd.
You
guys
come
up
with
the
need
for
an
additional
half
a
million
bucks.
I
mean
you
guys
had
in
staff
or
or
what's
the
intent
here.
C
Mr
chairman,
with
your
permission
through
you,
mr
chair,
to
senator
hanson,
so
if
I,
if
I
may
just
a
little
bit
of
historic
kind
of
historical
collection
information
in
fiscal
year,
20,
the
department
received
732
000
from
this
fee.
We
do
pay
a
one
percent
commission
out
of
those
receipts
to
the
dmv
to
collect
and
administer
the
fee
on
our
behalf.
So
we
do
have
some
expenses
there.
C
Nrs
561
412
specifies
that
the
fees
received
for
this
must
be
used
to
carry
out
the
provisions
of
chapter
581,
582,
590,
010,
so
59
through
590.330,
so
essentially
the
duties
of
the
division
of
consumer
equitability.
As
far
as
coming
up
with
a
number
again,
this
is
not
the
department
of
agriculture's
amendment.
We
certainly
would
consider
it
to
be
friendly
and
appreciate
the
the
examples
that
have
been
given
today
about
the
work
that
the
department
does
with
respect
to
enforcement
and
analytics
related
to
diesel
fuel.
C
Currently,
the
fee
is
only
being
collected
on
gasoline,
and
so
it
is.
It
is
the
wholesalers
of
gasoline
that
are
paying
for
those
services
that
are
being
provided
across
the
whole
multitude
of
the
product.
If
we
were
to
receive
the
additional
revenue,
I'm
not
certain
that
it
would
be
as
much
as
500
000
it
could
be.
C
C
C
These
funds
would
go
into
our
reserves
and
we
would
look
to
come
either
with
a
work
program
for
to
get
legislative
approval
on
how
those
funds
were
to
be
spent,
or
we
would
program
them
into
our
budget
for
the
following
biennium
and
again
look
for
the
governor's
approval
and
and
legislative
approval
on
those
budgets.
I.
G
So
that's
why
this
is
a
little
unusual,
and
while
I
understand
that
gas
people
are
picking
up
the
tab
disproportionately
for
the
diesel
people,
if
you're
going
to
expand
the
people
that
pay,
it
would
seem
that
the
rate
could
perhaps
come
down
seems
like
what
we're
doing
here.
We're
just
throwing
more
people
into
that
same
pool
so
you're
expanding
the
dollars,
but
it's
not
really
based
on
an
automatic
demand
that
you
guys
need
now
sounds
like
well.
G
When
you
get
it
you're
going
to
be
able
to
figure
out
how
to
spend
an
additional
half
a
million
bucks,
which
I
believe,
but
I'm
just
kind
of
wondering
if
the
rate
could
perhaps
now
you're
spreading
it
among
a
bunch
of
different
consumers
of
fuels
that
that
rate
could
perhaps
be
be
averaged
out
anyway.
Just
thank
you,
mr
chair.
A
Thank
you
so
much
senator
any
other
questions
senator
brooks.
Thank
you.
Mr
chair
has
dmv
weighed
in
on
what
the
the
cost
to
reprogram
their
processes
for
collection
would
be.
I've
gotten
a
chance
to
look
at
quite
a
few
dmv
budgets
and
and
there's
nothing
they
can
do
to
change
how
they
do
anything
that
doesn't
come
with
a
pretty
good
price
tag.
F
D
F
Chair
to
you
to
senator
coycochia
red
dye
diesel,
which
is
a
tax-exempt
product
used
by
agriculture,
offer
it's
an
off-road
product.
Mines
use
it
anywhere
where
a
vehicle
is
driven
off.
The
highway
system
is
exempt
from
road
tax
and
and
and
this
as
well,
so
this
would
not
include
red
dye
diesel
and,
as
far
as
heating
oil,
I
I
did.
F
Some
checking
and
the
the
use
of
heating
oil
in
nevada
is
confined
to
northern
nevada
in
a
very
small
market
anymore,
and
the
difficulty
is
and
the
reason
it's
in
this
bill
is
that
there
is
no
product
really
defined
as
heating
oil.
It's
diesel
number
two,
and
so
consequently,
the
the
the
issue
is,
I'm
sure,
at
a
at
a
very
high
cost.
A
B
B
B
H
H
We
had
6
million
855,
978
gallons
and
at
a
55
mil
charge.
That
equates
to
only
three
thousand
seven
hundred
and
seventy
one
dollars
per
year.
So
it's
pretty
minuscule
I
well.
I
can't
I
can't
give
you
a
position
on
it,
but
I
think
this
would
be
eliminated.
According
to
the
amendment
diesel
fuel
we
import,
903
000.
Excuse
me
903
million
994,
903
gallons.
H
C
Remarks
the
record
cadence,
mr
chairman,
I
do
not
appreciate
the
opportunity
to
present
the
bill
to
you
today
and
certainly
I'm
willing
to
work
with
all
the
parties,
as
the
amendment
is
considered
and
if
there's
anything
you
or
your
committee
need,
as
always,
please
do
not
hesitate
to
reach
out.
Thank
you.
A
A
I
Good
afternoon,
good
afternoon,
chairman
dente
and
members
of
the
committee
for
the
record
ashley
jepson,
I'm
the
plant
industry
administrator
for
the
nevada
department
of
agriculture.
As
you
can
see,
this
bill
has
quite
a
few
moving
pieces,
so
I'll
try
to
give
as
a
high
level
an
overview
as
possible
and
I'm
happy
to
provide
any
additional
information.
I
I
So
section
one
through
four
pertaining
to
our
noxious
weeds
program:
it's
including
it's
further,
defining
actual
control
of
noxious
weeds,
so
we
wanna
make
sure
that
the
measure
of
control
is
specific
to
the
species
they
sometimes
they'll,
spread
through
different
means
different
propagated
parts.
So
that
definition
will
allow
us
to
handle
those
compliant
situations
better
and
make
sure
folks
that
are
taking
action
on
those
noxious
weed
species
are
doing
so
appropriately
with
the
specific
species.
I
As
mentioned
I'm
jumping
ahead,
we
also
are
further
defining
naisma.
So
that's
the
north
american
invasive
species
management
association
and
that's
the
standards
that
we
use
for
our
weed
free
certification
program,
so
that
language
is
actually
being
included
in
there
for
our
weed
free
certification
program.
We
operate
under
those
specific
standards
in
providing
that
weed,
free,
forage
and
weed
free,
gravel
program
and
that's
a
voluntary
service
to
help
with
bread
mitigation
in
our
state
specific
to
noxious
weeds,
as
mentioned
pertaining
to
our
nursery
program.
I
I
I
Those
tend
to
be
higher
risk
more
of
public
environmental
health
concerns,
so
they
require
specific
competency
standards
and
higher
level
to
make
sure
that
they're
being
applied
in
a
safe
manner
to
safeguard
health
and
environmental
health
as
well
mind
you
that
there's
a
lot
of
cleanup
in
this
section,
it's
difficult
for
agency,
folks
and
members
of
the
public
to
navigate
these
regulations.
So
as
we
were
trying
to
get
it
up
to
par
with
federal
requirements.
I
We
were
also
trying
to
clean
up
the
language
it's
hard
to
navigate
on
where
people
would
fall
in
terms
of
certification
and
licensure,
whether
they're
doing
so
on
a
government
basis,
whether
they're
an
actual
for
a
higher
entity
or,
if
they're,
just
applying
something
on
their
farm.
So
we
try
to
redefine
the
language
a
little
bit
better,
so
it's
easier
for
them
to
navigate
and
also
we
want
to
make
sure
that
the
testing
that
we
are
implementing
is
appropriate
to
the
pesticides
that
the
individual
would
be
applying
or
the
company
would
be
applying.
I
I
There
was
an
amendment
put
forward
by
the
department
to
clean
up
some
of
that
language
because
it
it
it
would
have
created
additional
testing
and
more
stricter
testing
for
people
that
are
just
doing
for
higher
general
use
pesticides.
So
there
was
some
cleanup
there
and
I
just
wanted
to
provide
that
clarification.
A
D
Yes,
thank
you,
mr
chairman.
I'm
I'm
just
concerned
and
trying
to
skim
through
the
bill
quickly,
but
you
say
it
would
put
additional
requirements
in
on,
let's
say,
an
an
applicator
that
was
a
farmer
rancher
that
did
have
was
sort
of
a
certified
applicator.
This
wouldn't
change
his
status
at
all.
Would
it
I
mean
he
would
still
have
the
ability
to
apply
pesticides
or
herbicides
on
his
own
property.
I
For
the
record,
ashley
jefferson,
through
you
chairman
to
senator
guccia,
so
I
apologize.
If
I
miss
stoke
it
misspoke,
it
would
not
impose
any
additional
requirements
that
what
I
was-
and
I
probably
went-
into
the
weeds
a
little
bit
too
much
there.
What
I
was
specifying
is
we
wanted
to
make
sure
it
was
really
clear
that,
if
somebody's
just
applying
general
use
pesticides
that
the
test
they
get
if
they're
doing
for
higher
work,
is
reflective
of
that
versus
somebody.
I
That's
doing
restricted,
use
pesticides,
the
higher
risk
ones
the
tests
would
be
reflective
of
that.
So
we're
not.
We
wouldn't
have
somebody
having
to
meet
that
higher
standard
for
restricted
use.
Pesticides,
it's
just
doing
general
use
so
for
context
there,
but
more
specific
to
your
question
for
for
a
rancher
that
might
be
applying
pesticides,
the
only
they
would
just
need
certification
if
they're
doing
restricted
use
pesticides,
that's
federal
requirement,
and
so
yes,
they
would
have
to
secure
that
license,
but
similar
to
what
we've
done
in
the
past.
A
I
don't
see
none
so
thank
you,
ms
jefferson.
Let's
go
ahead
and
proceed
with
testimony,
so
next
we
will
go
to
the
phone
lines
to
continue
testimony
as
a
reminder,
we
will
be
limiting
all
testifiers
to
two
minutes.
Each
and
testifiers
are
encouraged
to
summarize
their
positions
and
submit
more
comprehensive
testimony
in
writing.
B
I
A
Thank
you
so
much
ma'am
all
right
at
this
time.
I
will
go
ahead
and
close
the
hearing
on
ab34
again.
The
committee
will
not
be
taking
any
action
on
ab34
today,
but
it
may
bring
it
back
for
a
future
worst
section.
Let's
keep
going.
We
have
assembly
bill
74,
so
I
will
go
ahead
and
open
the
hearing
on
assembly
bill
74..
A
I
A
Thank
you,
miss
jackson
for
that
short
presentation,
any
questions
from
any
of
the
committee
members-
I
don't
see
any
so
we
can
keep
going
all
right.
Let's
go
ahead
and
proceed.
I
think
we
will
go
ahead
and
go
to
the
phone
lines
to
continue
testimony.
So
as
a
reminder,
we
will
be
limiting
all
testifiers
to
two
minutes.
Each
and
testifiers
are
encouraged
to
summarize
their
positions
and
submit
more
comprehensive,
comprehensive
testimony
in
writing.
So
bps
is
there
anyone
on
the
line
wishing
to
provide
support
testimony
for
ab74.
B
A
Thank
you
so
much.
I
think,
we're
good.
So
with
that
I'll
go
ahead
and
close
the
hearing
on
ab74.
Thank
you
again,
miss
jepson
for
that
presentation
and
again
the
committee
will
not
be
taking
any
action
on
ab-74
today,
but
it
may
bring
it
back
for
a
future
work
session.
So
thank
you
to
the
committee
and
last
but
not
least,
we
have
reached
the
end
of
our
bills
for
today
so
assembly
bill
75.
We
will
go
I'll,
go
ahead
and
open
the
hearing
on
ab-75.
A
C
Once
again,
good
afternoon,
chairman
danatay
members
of
the
committee
for
the
record,
my
name
is
cadence
mateovich
and
I'm
the
administrator
for
the
division
of
consumer
equitability
at
the
nevada
department
of
agriculture.
Thank
you
for
the
opportunity
to
present
assembly
bill
75
to
you
today.
Like
my
colleague
ms
jepson,
I
hope
my
second
bill
will
be
a
little
quicker
than
my
first.
C
C
The
provisions
of
this
bill
are
intended
to
align
nevada's
weights
and
measures,
laws
with
the
uniform
laws
and
regulations
established
by
the
standard
and
technologies
office
of
weights
and
measures,
also
known
as
nist
owm
sections
two
through
four
of
the
bill.
Add
definitions
for
certain
physical
standards
used
in
the
installation,
adjustment,
repair
or
calibration
of
weighing
and
measuring
devices
and
establishes
applicable
uses
of
those
standards.
C
The
addition
of
this
presumption
will
assist
the
agency
in
enforcing
the
requirement
that
any
standard
used
in
the
installation,
adjustment,
repair
or
calibration
of
commercial
weighing
and
measuring
equipment
must
be
certified
by
a
laboratory
that
has
been
qualified
by
nist
owm
sections.
6,
7
and
8
make
conforming
changes
to
nrs,
581.001,
581.065
and
581.067
to
include
the
words
and
terms
newly
established
in
sections
2
and
3
of
the
bill.
C
C
C
C
Section
9
is
intended
to
clarify
that
the
rebuttable
presumption
that
a
weight
measure
or
weighing
or
measuring
device

a
place
from
which
buying
or
selling
is
commonly
carried
on
is
regularly
used
for
the
commercial
business
purposes
of
that
place.
The
addition
to
the
of
the
term
commercial
will
assist
the
agency
in
enforcing
the
requirement
that
any
weighing
or
measuring
device
being
used
for
a
commercial
purpose
must
be
licensed
by
the
state
sealer

as

Section

makes
conforming

561
to
include
all

and
other

pursuant
to
sections

to
five
of
this
bill
within
those
funds
which
must
be
deposited
in
the
state
treasury
and
credited
to
a
separate
account
in
the
state
general
fund
for
use
by
the
department
of
agriculture
and
section
11
sets
forth
the
effect
of
david's
bill.
Mr
chairman,
this
concludes
my
presentation.
Thank
you.
D
I'm
sorry,
mr
chair,
I
just
want
to
clarification
from
cadence
when
we
talk
about
transfer
standards
again,
I'm
assuming
you're
talking
about
the
little
cement
blocks
you
forklift
in
and
out
of
a
scale
and
or
if
it
was
a
repairman
that
would
have
the
same
capability.
Is
that
what
we're
talking
about
with
transfer
standards.
C
For
the
record,
cadence
matijevic
through
you,
mr
chairman,
to
senator
goykichia,
yes
field
reference
standards-
I
I
think
are
really
mostly
what
you're
talking
about
they
are.
They
can
be
volume
proving
devices
or
weights
individual
weights.
They
could
be
very
small
weights,
very
large
weight
weight
carts.
Those
are
field
reference
standards.
A
transfer
standard
is
something
that
would
be
used
for
a
very
short
duration.
C
There
are
limited
exceptions
in
the
nist
owm
guidelines,
where
transfer
standards
would
be
used,
but
more
commonly
used.
Are
those
field
reference
standards
that
our
own
weights
and
measures
inspectors
use
when
confirming
the
accuracy
of
devices
and
that
registered
service
agents
that
re,
install
repair
or
adjust
devices
used.
A
No
all
right,
I
think,
we're
good.
Thank
you
so
much,
let's
go
ahead
and
proceed
to
the
phone
lines
to
continue
testimony.
So
as
a
reminder,
we
will
be
limiting
all
testifiers
to
two
minutes
each
and
please
submit
any
more
comprehensive
testimony
in
writing
to
us.
So
bps
is
there
anyone
on
the
line
wishing
to
provide
testimony
in
support
of
ab75.
A
A
All
right
seeing
that
we
don't
have
any
more
further
comments.
I
think
we're
good
to
close
the
hearing.
So
I'll
go
ahead
and
close
the
hearing
on
ab-75
and
again,
the
committee
will
not
be
taking
any
action
on
this
bill
today,
but
it
may
bring
it
back
for
a
future
work
session.
So
again,
thank
you
to
the
committee
members
and
to
miss
matijevic
for
your
presentation
today,
all
right
so
before
we
conclude,
let's
go
ahead
and
proceed
with
public
comments,
so
I
will
go
ahead
and
call
for
public
comment.
