It is found by the General Assembly that the provisions of this part are necessary to the proper marketing of flue-cured leaf tobacco.\nIt is further found that external disruptive forces and influences upon buyers and sales opportunity have operated to effect discrimination and disadvantage upon flue-cured leaf tobacco producers in this state in the free entry and sale of their tobacco in interstate commerce. It is the intent and purpose of this part to eliminate discrimination in the entry and sale of tobacco in commerce by providing for equitable allocation of sales opportunity and by providing for licensing of flue-cured leaf tobacco auction sales which will optimize the movement and sale in commerce of tobacco produced in this state and eliminate discrimination against such movement and sale.","path":["TITLE 10 Commerce and Trade","CHAPTER 4 Warehousemen","Article 3 Tobacco Warehousing","PART 1 Leaf Tobacco Sales and Storage"],"source_url":"https://archive.org/download/gov.ga.ocga.2018/release86.2022.11/gov.ga.ocga.title.10.odt","current_through":"Release 86 (2022-11)","vintage":"Public.Resource.Org bulk O.C.G.A., Release 86 (2022-11), retrieved 2026-09-17","retrieved_at":"2026-09-17T19:34:57Z","sha256":"7af3900d4200fb91bb2fe98058425d517d4202d7a0a4359df3a678d3d63eac9a","source_id":"us-ga","stale":false,"prev":"us-ga/o.c.g.a.-10-4-81","next":"us-ga/o.c.g.a.-10-4-101"},"notice":"GroundRules: Original legal text.
