History: 1969 act replaced commissioner of weights and measures with commissioner of consumer protection and substituted “or” for “and” in phrase “licensed weigher and gager”; P.A. 91-312 divided section into Subsecs., amended Subsec. (a) to require milk or cream to be weighed when “purchased” rather than when “received in a plant licensed under section 22-137” and made technical changes; June 30 Sp. Sess. P.A. 03-6 replaced separate Commissioners of Agriculture and Consumer Protection with single Commissioner of Agriculture and Consumer Protection, effective July 1, 2004; P.A. 04-189 repealed Sec. 146 of June 30 Sp. Sess. P.A. 03-6, thereby reversing the merger of the Departments of Agriculture and Consumer Protection, effective June 1, 2004.
