For purposes of this section, the weight of any recreational vehicle shall be the weight generally accepted as its correct shipping weight as reflected on the certificate of title or, if the shipping weight is not reflected on the certificate of title, it shall be the weight determined by a scale which is tested and inspected annually by a scale testing and service company licensed pursuant to Kan. Stat. Ann. § 83-301 et seq., and amendments thereto, by a city or county having an established department of public inspection of weights and measures or by the state sealer or the state sealer’s authorized representative. The manner and form for submitting to the county treasurer the weight of a recreational vehicle determined by a scale so tested and inspected shall be as prescribed by rules and regulations of the secretary of revenue.

Except as provided in subsection (e) of Kan. Stat.
