Due to the continuing escalation in the number of cases of COVID-19 and the emergency orders and guidance issued at the local, state and federal level mandating social distancing among the public and limiting travel for only essential matters, the Department issues this temporary rule to provide a twenty-four (24) month, inspection and approval for “Weights and Measures” as that phrase is defined in Section 75-27-3(2) of the Mississippi Code. The Temporary Rule applies only to Weights and Measures that would have otherwise been due for inspection and approval during the period of March 13, 2020 through June 30, 2020. The reasoning for this waiver is to alleviate the requirement during the pendency of emergency conditions that inspectors and scale technicians travel and engage in activities which could result in exposure or further transmission of COVID-19. This rule will reduce exposure of the public and Department employees in a manner consistent with local, state and federal guidance and directives.
