	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   AB 2361, Ruskin. Weights and measures: inspection: fees.
   Existing law requires the sealer of a county to inspect and test
weighing and measuring devices, as specified, that are used or sold
in the county. Existing law also requires the sealer of a county to
weigh or measure packages to determine whether they contain the
amount represented, as provided. Existing law, until January 1, 2011,
permits the board of supervisors of a county to charge fees to
recover the costs of the county sealer to perform these duties.
   This bill would extend the authority of the board of supervisors
of a county to charge fees to recover the costs of the county sealer,
as provided, until January 1, 2013.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 12246 of the Business and Professions Code is
amended to read:
   12246.  This article shall remain in effect only until January 1,
2013, and as of that date is repealed, unless a later enacted statute
that is enacted before January 1, 2013, deletes or extends that
date.
