COMMISSIONER

Section 75-55-38 of the Mississippi Petroleum Products Inspection Law states:

(1)Any person who repairs, adjusts or removes an official seal from a petroleum pump or metering device shall, before engaging

in such activity, obtain a license from the commissioner upon showing that he is qualified to repair, adjust and test petroleum

pumps and/or metering devices. Application for a petroleum equipment repairman's license shall be made annually on forms

prescribed and furnished by the commissioner. A fee of Fifty Dollars ($50.00) shall be paid by the applicant at the time

application for such license is made. All licenses issued hereunder shall expire on the thirtieth day of June next after its issuance.

Any person so licensed shall, within three (3) days after he repairs or adjusts a petroleum pump, metering or measuring device or

removes an official seal therefrom, make a report thereof to the commissioner on a form provided for such purpose by the

Department of Agriculture and Commerce.

(2)Upon receipt of a license, the petroleum equipment repairman shall acquire a seal press, one (1) die of which shall be inscribed

with his license number. All official pump or meter seals removed by the licensed petroleum equipment repairman shall be

replaced and such replaced seals shall clearly show the license number of the petroleum equipment repairman replacing the

seal(s).

(3)The commissioner shall have authority to prescribe and adopt regulations establishing additional requirements and/or

qualifications for petroleum equipment repairmen.

(4)Any person, company or corporation who violates or causes to be violated any provision of this section or any rule or

regulation adopted hereunder shall be guilty of a misdemeanor and, upon conviction, shall be punished by a fine not less than

Three Hundred Dollars ($300.00) nor more than Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00), or by imprisonment for not more than six (6)

months, or by both fine and imprisonment; upon a second or subsequent conviction thereof, violators shall be punished by a fine

of not less than Five Hundred Dollars ($500.00) nor more than One Thousand Dollars ($1,000.00), or by imprisonment for not

more than one (1) year, or by both fine and imprisonment. In addition to fines and/or imprisonment as provided herein, the

commissioner may, in his discretion, suspend or revoke the license of such petroleum equipment repairman. Provided, however,

that the commissioner shall afford a licensee an opportunity for a hearing, prior to suspension or revocation of a license, to show

cause why his license should not be suspended or revoked.
