At the close of each legislative session the Louisiana State Law Institute shall prepare printer's copy, either for a supplement to the Revised Statutes of 1950, or for a volume to be called "Louisiana Revised Statutes", containing the text of the Louisiana Revised Statutes of 1950 as they may have been amended, and omitting therefrom or noting therein, those sections that have been repealed. There shall also be incorporated therein, in an appropriate place and classification, the text of all the new legislation of a general and public nature, assigning to these laws an appropriate Title, Chapter, and Section number, and indicating the source of the legislative acts from which they are taken.
