 140. Samples;  publication  of results of tests. 1. The commissioner
  or his or her duly authorized  representatives  shall  take  samples  of
  seeds  for  examination,  analysis,  and  testing by the department. The
  commissioner may contract with a qualified laboratory  to  perform  such
  examination,  analysis,  and  testing.  When the analysis of an official
  sample indicates that seed is mislabeled, the results of  such  analysis
  shall be provided to the person responsible for the labeling of the seed
  and,  upon that person's request, made within fifteen days of his or her
  receipt of said results, the commissioner or his or her authorized agent
  shall furnish such person with a portion of the sample taken.
2. From time to time the department of agriculture and markets,  shall
  make  public the results of examinations, analyses, trials, and tests of
  any sample  or  samples  so  procured,  together  with  such  additional
  information  as  circumstances  advise. These published results shall be
  the property of the state  of  New  York  and  shall  not  be  used  for
  advertising or regulatory purposes by any person or agency, governmental
  or   otherwise   without   requested   and  granted  permission  of  the
  commissioner.
