An Act
to amend

2
E (title), 84.02 (5) (b) and 84.02 (5) (c);
to create
35.84 (figure) column F of the
3
statutes;
relating to:
the distribution of the Wisconsin Blue Book and
4
highway maps.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill reduces the number of Blue Books that the Department of Administration is required to distribute. First, the bill eliminates the requirement that Blue Books be distributed to entities such as constitutional officers, legislative service agencies, state agencies, libraries, and educational institutions. Second, the bill requires the Legislative Reference Bureau, before entering into a contract to print the Blue Book, to ask each legislative office how many, if any, copies the office would like. The bill sets a cap at 350 Blue Books for an assembly office and 600 Blue Books for a senate office, which is the number each such office receives under current law. The bill also requires the LRB to inform each office that the Blue Book is available online when asking how many printed copies the office wants.
The bill also eliminates the requirement that the Department of Transportation automatically provide legislative members and officers and the LRB highway service maps and folded highway maps. Under the bill, members of the legislature may request and receive up to 50 highway service maps and up to 500 folded highway maps at no charge.
For further information see the state fiscal estimate, which will be printed as an appendix to this bill.
The people of the state of Wisconsin, represented in senate and assembly, do enact as follows:
