At the time printed material is declared to be surplus printed material, the agency head shall make or cause to be made a complete inventory of the surplus printed material. The inventory shall describe the surplus printed material in sufficient detail, if practicable, to allow the division to make the determination provided for in Code Section 20-3-47.3. The inventory shall contain a statement of the declaration of the printed material as surplus printed material; such declaration shall be signed by the agency head; and the date signed shall be indicated thereon. As a part thereof or as an attachment thereto, the inventory shall show the physical location of the surplus printed material. Upon its completion, the agency head shall transmit the original of the inventory to the division. A duplicate of the original copy shall be retained in the files of the state agency as a part of the records of such agency. (Code 1933, § 40-603a, enacted by Ga.
