warehousemen, is amended by revising subsection (b) of Code Section 10-4-19,
relating to agricultural warehouse receipt requirements, obtaining printed
forms, and use of electronic receipts, as follows:
"(b)
To regulate receipts issued by warehousemen licensed under this article,
receipts issued by such warehousemen shall be obtained by warehousemen from
approved
and
bonded printers and delivered through the
Department of Agriculture at the expense of the warehousemen. Orders of the
warehousemen for receipts from printers approved
and
bonded by the Commissioner shall be
forwarded to the Department of Agriculture for approval as to the form and
source of supply of the receipts. To regulate further the receipts issued under
this article, the printer shall transmit all receipts printed for a warehouseman
to the Department of Agriculture, so as to enable the Commissioner to maintain
an accurate record of the numbers of such receipts and the quantity delivered.
It shall be a violation of this article for any warehouseman to issue any
warehouse receipt except upon receipts obtained as provided in this Code
section. It shall be unlawful for any printer to print any warehouse receipt
for any warehouseman licensed under this article without the approval of the
Commissioner."
