A registered serviceman and a registered service agency shall submit, annually to the director, for examination and certification, any standards and testing equipment that are used, or are to be used, in the performance of the service and testing functions with respect to weighing and measuring devices for which competence is registered. No registered service person or agency may use in servicing any commercial weighing or measuring device any standards or testing equipment that have not been certified by the director. The Department of Public Safety shall charge a fee for such examination and certification. From July 1, 2007, through June 30, 2008, the fee is sixty-two dollars per hour. From July 1, 2008, through June 30, 2009, the fee is seventy-nine dollars per hour. On July 1, 2009, and thereafter, the fee is ninety-six dollars per hour. It is the intent of the Legislature that one-half of the inspection program funding may be derived from the general fund and the other half from the fees collected pursuant to this section and §§ 34-39-3, 37-21-9.1, 37-21A-3, and 37-22-10, through the General Appropriations Act.
