What this bill does
Plain-language analysis by the nonpartisan Legislative Reference Bureau
Under this bill, legislative officers other than legislators and the Legislative
Reference Bureau (LRB) no longer receive folded highway maps upon publication
from the Department of Transportation (DOT). Also, a legislator may reduce the
number of free highway service maps and folded highway maps that DOT is required
to distribute to the legislator's office.
This bill also reduces the number of Blue Books that the Department of
Administration is required to distribute. This bill eliminates the requirement that
Blue Books be distributed to entities such as constitutional officers, legislative
service agencies, state agencies, libraries, and educational institutions. The bill
maintains the general requirement that 350 Blue Books be distributed to each
representative to the Assembly and 600 Blue Books be distributed to each senator
but allows each representative and senator to reduce that number for his or her
office. This bill also requires the LRB to ask each legislative office if the office wants
to reduce the number distributed to his or her office.
