(a) The date on which the device was purchased or installed;
(b) The manufacturer and model or type of the device;
(c) The address where the device is located; and
(d) The name of the person who installed the device.
2. Except as otherwise provided in this section, upon receiving the information pursuant to subsection 1 about a weighing or measuring device, the Division will, as soon as practicable, inspect the device. If the Division determines that the device meets all the applicable standards and the applicant has paid the applicable fees, the Division will issue a license for the device to be used as commercial weighing and measuring equipment or as cannabis weighing and measuring equipment.
3. The Division may waive the initial inspection of a weighing or measuring device required pursuant to subsection 2 if the Division determines that the device was adjusted after installation by a person who is registered with the Division pursuant to NRS 581.103 to adjust such a device. If the Division waives the initial test, the Division will:
(a) Immediately issue a license for the weighing or measuring device to be used as commercial weighing and measuring equipment or as cannabis weighing and measuring equipment; and
(b) As soon as practicable thereafter, inspect the device to ensure that it meets all the applicable standards.
4. If a weighing or measuring device fails an inspection conducted pursuant to subsection 3, the Division will immediately suspend the license issued for the device. If, during the period for which the license was issued, the device:
(a) Passes a reinspection conducted by the Division, or is otherwise approved for use by the State Sealer of Measurement Standards, the Division will reinstate the license.
(b) Fails to pass a reinspection conducted by the Division, the Division may revoke the license.
5. A license issued for a weighing or measuring device to be used as commercial weighing and measuring equipment or as cannabis weighing and measuring equipment is valid from September 1 or the date on which it is issued, whichever is later, until the next following August 31.
6. If a weighing or measuring device used as commercial weighing and measuring equipment was approved by the Department for use on or after July 1, 2003, but before January 27, 2004, a license shall be deemed to have been issued for the device by the Division pursuant to this section, effective on the date on which the device was approved for commercial use.
