(1) It is unlawful to issue paper negotiable warehouse receipts other than those furnished by the department. The licensee shall issue these receipts consecutively, as numbered, and each receipt must state the date on which it is actually issued.

(2) Nothing in this article 36 shall be construed to prevent the issuance of nonnegotiable scale tickets or other nonnegotiable evidences of a similar nature showing the date on which the commodities were received, the quantities received, and the condition of the commodities upon their delivery.

(3) When partial withdrawal of a commodity is made by an owner, the warehouse operator shall make an appropriate notation thereof on the depositor's nonnegotiable warehouse receipt or on such other records as may be prescribed by the department. If the warehouse operator has theretofore issued a negotiable warehouse receipt to the owner, the warehouse operator shall claim, cancel, and replace it with a new negotiable warehouse receipt, showing the amount of the owner's commodity remaining in the public warehouse.

(4) Every commodity handler receiving commodities for storage or handling shall immediately, upon receipt of each load, issue to every person delivering the commodity a scale ticket, which shall contain the net weight of each separate draft or load of the commodity and the dockage, if any, to be levied at the time of delivery, and such other information as may be required by the department.

(5) Acceptance of commodities for storage by a warehouse operator for which a negotiable warehouse receipt is issued shall constitute a bailment process and not a sale. If a warehouse operator fails to claim and cancel a negotiable warehouse receipt issued on delivery for commodities stored in the warehouse operator's public warehouse and the negotiation of which would transfer the right of possession of that commodity, the warehouse operator shall be liable, to a good faith purchaser for value, for his or her failure to deliver to the purchaser all the commodities specified in the receipt. This liability shall apply whether the purchaser acquired title to the negotiable warehouse receipt before, on, or after the delivery of any part of the commodity by the warehouse operator.
