3. a. Upon the first official inspection of any weight or measure used by a precious metals buyer not subject to the provisions of section 2 of P.L.1981, c.96 (C.51:6A-2) that has not been certified as required pursuant to subsection c. of section 1 of P.L.1981, c.96 (C.51:6A-1), the owner of the weight or measure may be afforded two days to have the weight or measure certified. If an owner fails to have the weight or measure certified within two days after the inspection, the weights and measures officer shall immediately take possession of and destroy the weight or measure, unless, in the sole discretion of the superintendent, good cause exists to allow additional time to obtain the certification or take possession of and destroy the weight or measure. b.
