______________________________________________________________

 

RESOLVED, by the Board of Supervisors of the County of San Mateo, State of California, that

 

WHEREAS, Section 12024.2 of Division 5 of the Business and Professions Code states that it is unlawful for any person to compute, at the time of sale of a commodity, a value which is not a true extension of a price per unit which is then advertised, posted, or quoted or to charge, at the time of sale of a commodity, a value which is more than the price which is then advertised, posted or quoted; and,

 

WHEREAS, Section 12103.5 of the Business and Professions Code states that the duty of enforcing this division and carrying out its provisions and requirements is vested in the director and in each sealer acting under the supervision and direction of the director; and,

 

WHEREAS, regulatory inspections of automated point-of-sale stations (scanners) are necessary to identify and correct violations of unlawful computation of a value that is not a true extension of a price per unit which is then advertised, posted, or quoted or to charge a value that is more than the price that is then advertised, posted or quoted; and,

 

WHEREAS, Section 5.114.050 of the Ordinance Code of the County of San Mateo authorizes the Sealer of Weights and Measures to require an annual registration fee of each business location in the County that operates an automated point-of-sale system for commercial purposes in order to recover the costs of inspection of automated point-of-sale stations.

 

    NOW THEREFORE, IT IS HEREBY DETERMINED AND ORDERED
