The department of agriculture and land stewardship shall provide for annual inspections of all motor vehicle fuel pumps licensed under this chapter. Inspections shall be for the purpose of determining the accuracy of the pumps' measuring mechanisms, and for such purpose the department's inspectors may enter upon the premises of any wholesale dealer or retail dealer, as they are defined in section 214A.1, of motor vehicle fuel or fuel oil within this state. Upon completion of an inspection, the inspector shall affix the department's seal to the measuring mechanism of the pump. The seal shall be appropriately marked, dated, and recorded by the inspector. If the owner of an inspected and sealed pump is registered with the department as a servicer in accordance with section 215.23, or employs a person so registered as a servicer, the owner or other servicer may open the pump, break the department's seal, recalibrate the measuring mechanism if necessary, and reseal the pump as long as the department is notified of the recalibration within forty-eight hours, on a form provided by the department. A person violating a provision of this section is, upon conviction, guilty of a simple misdemeanor.
