OPINIONS OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL

Editor's notes.

- In light of the similarity of the statutory provisions, opinions under Ga. L. 1956, p. 48, as it read prior to revision by Ga. L. 1977, p. 396, § 1, are included in the annotations for this Code section.

Validity of regulations providing for alternate methods of identification.

- Intent and purpose of subsection (c) is to provide a means of identifying carcass of pen-raised quail; therefore, the Game and Fish Commission (now Department of Natural Resources) can adopt regulations permitting use of wing clips or other devices to be attached to carcass of bird, so long as method utilized contains basic information required. 1958-59 Op. Att'y Gen. p. 172 (decided under Ga. L. 1956, p. 48).
