§ 8-20-803. Annual inspection of sample - permit authorizing sale - reinspection.

(1) Before any antifreeze is sold, exposed for sale, or held with intent to sell within this state, a sample thereof must be inspected annually by the director of the division of oil and public safety at an inspection laboratory designated by the director of the division of oil and public safety. Upon application of the manufacturer, packer, seller, or distributor, and the payment of a fee not to exceed twenty-five dollars for each sample of antifreeze submitted, the director of the division of oil and public safety shall inspect the antifreeze submitted as set forth in this subsection (1), but in no case shall an approved antifreeze be inspected more than one time for each antifreeze marketing year beginning May 1 and ending April 30, except as set forth in this section.

(2) If the antifreeze is not adulterated or misbranded, meets the standards of the director of the division of oil and public safety, and is not in violation of this part 8, the director of the division of oil and public safety shall give the applicant a written permit authorizing the sale by any person of such antifreeze in this state for the marketing year for which the inspection fee is paid. If the director of the division of oil and public safety at a later date finds that the product to be sold, exposed for sale, or held with intent to sell has been materially altered or adulterated, or that a change has been made in the name, brand, or trademark under which the antifreeze is sold, or that it violates the provisions of this part 8, the director of the division of oil and public safety shall notify the applicant and the permit shall be canceled.

(3) In the event a manufacturer, packer, seller, or distributor changes the composition, content, or formula of any antifreeze which the manufacturer, packer, seller, or distributor is marketing under a permit from the director of the division of oil and public safety, it is the duty of said manufacturer, packer, seller, or distributor to immediately notify the director of the division of oil and public safety and submit a sample for test in compliance with this section.
