Title

Amending Chapter 22 of the Madison General Ordinances to update the chapter to be consistent with state statutes and administrative codes regarding weights and measures and to update fee structure for weights and measures licensing.

Body

DRAFTER'S ANALYSIS:  This revision includes updates to maintain accuracy with state statutes, administrative codes, and Department of Commerce handbooks regarding weights and measures.  The amendment also updates the fee structure for weights and measures licensing.  The revision reduces unnecessary duplication of state statutes.  For example, although the amendment deletes language regarding service for disabled individuals at motor fuel dealers, the legal requirement for that service remains unchanged because it is required under state law.  The revision does not create new titles or officials, but clarifies language throughout the Chapter to refer to weights and measures officials in a uniform and consistent manner.  This ordinance shall be effective April 1, 2019.
