that information in a proceeding necessary for the enforcement of Title 51 of the

Revised Statutes, but, upon application by the owner, the court may seal the record

with regard to that information; h. Any other matter which the State superintendent deems necessary for the effective

enforcement of laws relating to standards, weights and measures, consistent with the

provisions of Title 51 of the Revised Statutes .
