17B.15 FEES FOR INSPECTION AND WEIGHING; DEDICATED ACCOUNT.
Subdivision 1. Administration; appropriation. The fees for inspection and weighing shall
be fixed by the commissioner and be a lien upon the grain. The commissioner shall set fees for all
inspection and weighing in an amount adequate to pay the expenses of carrying out and enforcing
the purposes of sections 17B.01 to 17B.22, including the portion of general support costs and
statewide indirect costs of the agency attributable to that function, with a reserve sufficient for up
to six months. The commissioner shall review the fee schedule twice each year. Fee adjustments
are not subject to chapter 14. Payment shall be required for services rendered.
All fees collected and all fines and penalties for violation of any provision of this chapter
shall be deposited in the grain inspection and weighing account, which is created in the
agricultural fund for carrying out the purpose of sections 17B.01 to 17B.22. The money in the
account, including interest earned on the account, is annually appropriated to the commissioner of
agriculture to administer the provisions of sections 17B.01 to 17B.22. When money from any
other account is used to administer sections 17B.01 to 17B.22, the commissioner shall notify the
chairs of the Agriculture, Environment and Natural Resources Finance, and Ways and Means
Committees of the house of representatives; the Agriculture and Rural Development and Finance
Committees of the senate; and the Finance Division of the Environment and Natural Resources
Committee of the senate.

consideration all fees earned and all hours charged. When deemed necessary by the commissioner,
a charge for actual overtime costs may be made.
