指定農林物資検査法
法令番号: 法律第210号
公布年月日: 昭和23年8月2日
法令の形式: 法律

提案理由 (AIによる要約)

農林物資の検査制度について、従来は都道府県知事による検査と民間団体による検査が並立していたが、法的根拠となっていた都道府県令が1947年12月末で失効したことにより、新たな法的整備が必要となった。また、民間団体による検査は事業者団体法案に抵触する恐れがあった。そこで、全国統一的な規格の制定と公正な検査の実施を目的として本法案を提出した。具体的には、農林大臣が規格審議会の議を経て規格を定め、検査は国の機関または都道府県知事が実施する。これにより、零細な生産者の品質改善を促進し、取引の円滑化と公定価格制度の適正な運用を図ることを目指している。
