It is a Class 2 misdemeanor for any person to remove, deface, or destroy such card, notice, or other device placed upon condemned or rejected scales. Scales tagged as "condemned for repairs" shall be repaired or corrected within sixty days, and they may not be used for any purpose until they have been repaired, retested, found to be correct, and are placed in service by a registered service agency or agent or until the Division of Commercial Inspection and Licensing shall consent to the further use of such scales. The owner or operator of any weighing device tagged or marked "rejected for repair" may continue to use the device but shall have the device repaired or corrected within thirty days by a registered service agency or agent.
