This law requires the department to maintain detailed records of its actions, any legal proceedings it initiates, and reports from different sealers. All these records must be accessible to the public.

This law section states that the responsibility for enforcing the rules and requirements of this division is given to the secretary and the sealers who work under the secretary's guidance.

This law states that the department must guide and recommend how county sealers should do their job. It also requires these instructions to include an analysis of local costs associated with weights and measures protection across the state. This analysis should find areas where funding is needed to support county programs. Furthermore, the secretary and county sealers must work together to set enforcement priorities.

This law allows a state official to give money to counties each year to help pay for programs that check the accuracy of weights and measurements in commerce. The amount given can't be more than one-third of what the county spent on these programs last year, and the money comes from the state's budget for overseeing these activities locally.

This law says that the department, as decided by the secretary, will regularly check how local sealers are doing their jobs. They also have the authority to examine any weighing or measuring devices used by people.

This law requires the department to test scales and measuring devices at least once a year, and whenever asked, to ensure accuracy in managing supplies at state institutions. They must also provide a written report of their findings to the institution's executive officer.

The law allows California to recognize the testing and sealing of weighing and measuring devices done by another state, as long as that state's requirements meet California's standards.

This law says that the secretary in charge must set rules for how commercial weighing and measuring tools are used. These rules should follow the latest national standards unless adjustments are made by the secretary. The secretary can also create their own rules for tools not covered by the national guide. When making or changing these rules, the process must follow specific government procedures. Breaking these rules is illegal.

The secretary can set rules about how much a product should weigh or how many items should be in a package, as long as it's not a product made of four or more basic ingredients. These rules should match official federal or state guidelines or common practices if no official guidelines exist. Once these standards are set, it's illegal to sell products in sizes that are different from the standards. Any changes to the regulations must follow specific procedures outlined in government regulations.

This law allows a secretary to hire a sealer—a person who typically verifies measurements and weights in a county—to help with specific tasks not normally part of their job. These tasks must be things that the department or the Food and Agricultural Code oversees. The sealer can be paid reasonably for this work along with their expenses.
