California CodesBusiness and Professions Code - BPCDivision 5 — Weights and MeasuresChapter 7 — WeighmastersSection 12720
When the tare weight of a vehicle or the weight of the vehicle and its contents have been recorded on a weighmaster certificate, it is unlawful for any person to alter the tare weight of the vehicle prior to the time that the net weight of the commodity has been determined and recorded on the certificate.
Notes
Prohibits altering a vehicle’s tare weight after a weighmaster certificate records the tare weight or the combined weight of vehicle and contents and before the commodity’s net weight is determined and recorded on the certificate. The rule preserves the recorded vehicle-weight basis until the net commodity weight calculation is completed and certified.
