What it would have done

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

Under current law, the Department of Transportation must publish highway service maps showing the state trunk highway system. DOT determines the price at which these highway service maps are sold. DOT must also publish folded highway maps for free distribution to the public. Upon their publication, DOT must distribute for free 50 highway service maps and 500 folded highway maps to each officer and member of the legislature. These officers and members of the legislature may request additional highway service maps at the regularly established price and additional folded highway maps for free. DOT must also distribute to the Legislative Reference Bureau 300 folded highway maps. This bill eliminates the requirement that DOT distribute highway service maps and folded highway maps to officers and members of the legislature and the LRB.
