           SUMMARY  :  Authorizes a weighmaster weighing any vehicle moving 
          certain construction materials, to use an unattended weighing 
          system to weigh the vehicle and issue a weighmaster certificate 
          to buyers who opt to utilize the unattended system under 
          specified conditions.

           The Senate amendments  delete coauthors and make other technical, 
          clarifying changes.

           EXISTING LAW  :

          1)Provides for the licensure of weighmasters who weigh, measure, 
            or count any commodity and issue a statement or memorandum 
            that is used as the basis for either the purchase or sale of 
            that commodity.

          2)Requires that a weighmaster issue a signed weighmaster 
            certificate, with specified information, whenever payment for 
            the commodity is dependent on a written or printed weight, 
            measure, or count.

          3)Specifies that any weighing, measuring, or counting instrument 
            or device, as defined, which is used by a weighmaster be
