REVISOR'S NOTE: This section presently appears as
Art. 97, §31 of the Code, as amended by Ch.
437, Acts of 1973. Its provisions are
rearranged for greater clarity. In
subsections (a) and (b) new language is added
to indicate the net delivery weight may be
expressed in decimal tons instead of pounds
to incorporate the present practice. The
penalty provisions are proposed for deletion
because they are superseded by the uniform
penalty provisions of this Article. The only
other changes made are in style.
