What it does

Summary by the , the Legislature's nonpartisan drafting office. It's their wording, not ours.

Under current law, subject to certain exceptions, all book printing required for state agencies is subject to certain requirements relating to the publication of public documents, including certain specification, bidding, and contracting requirements (public printing requirements). Hardbound books of the State Historical Society (SHS), however, are exempt from the public printing requirements. Instead, the printing of hardbound books of the SHS must be procured on individual competitive bids and by an official state printing order according to specifications determined by the Department of Administration. This bill exempts all books of the SHS, whether hardbound or paperback, from the public printing requirements.
