Any bonded weighmaster who falsifies a weight or measurement certificate, or who delegates his authority to any person not licensed as a bonded weighmaster, or who preseals a weight or measurement certificate with his official seal before performing the act of weighing or measuring, shall be guilty of a misdemeanor. Any person who violates any provision of this article or any rule or regulation promulgated pursuant thereto for which no specific penalty had been provided shall be guilty of a misdemeanor.
