Chapter
4 of Title 10 of the Official Code of Georgia Annotated, relating to
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 printers and delivered through the Department of Agriculture at the
expense of the warehousemen. Orders of the warehousemen for receipts from
printers approved 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."

laws and parts of laws in conflict with this Act are repealed.
