Current Bill Summary

SB 798 - Currently, the Revisor of Statutes is required to print and bind copies of all laws and resolutions and deliver copies to certain listed public agencies, schools and libraries. This act gives the revisor the discretion to print and bind the laws and resolutions or to produce the laws and resolutions in a web-based electronic format. The act repeals the provisions that required the revisor to distribute copies to the listed agencies, schools and libraries. The revisor is given the authority to sell copies of the revised statutes at a price determined by the Committee on Legislative Research, taking into account, in part, the cost of producing the statutes and maintaining the website.
