Change provisions of the Weights and Measures Act

LB 394 updates Nebraska's Weights and Measures Act by adopting current federal standards from National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST) handbooks, effective January 1, 2019. It directly affects businesses using commercial weighing/measuring devices (like grocery stores, gas stations, and pharmacies) by requiring compliance with updated federal rules on device accuracy, labeling, and pricing displays. Key provisions include adopting NIST Handbook 44 for device standards, revising registration fees for personnel, and adding rules for permanently closed businesses. The bill aligns state enforcement with federal practices without changing core consumer protections.
