LAC 34:VII.309. Marking and Identifying Items of Property on Inventory

A. Each item which meets the definition of items of property to be inventoried (§307) must be identified with an identification tag approved by the Commissioner of Administration which shall bear a unique identification number. B. Agencies shall submit their requests for state of Louisiana identification tags directly to Louisiana Property Assistance Agency. C. The agency property manager shall be responsible for the tagging of property, location, identification of property, and maintenance of property identification tags as prescribed in these regulations. D. Livestock may be tagged in the ear with a metal tag provided that tag number is set aside. If there is any type of identification mark or tag already on the animal, such as bangs, brucellosis, etc., such identification shall be entered as the tag number provided the number has not been used before. E. If the item cannot have a state of Louisiana identification number placed on it for physical reasons, the identification number should be set aside and the identification number written on the item with indelible ink (in case of items of cloth), or the number inscribed on the item with a small engraving tool. Authorization must be given in writing by the Louisiana Property Assistance Agency director or his designee for any inventoriable item which does not have a state identification mark due to extenuating circumstances.
