Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
This bill changes the laws governing distribution of state documents
(publications). The changes include:
1. Currently, there are 2 state document depository libraries outside this state
— the Library of Congress and the Center for Research Libraries, Chicago, Illinois.
The bill discontinues the center as a depository and replaces it with the Council of
State Governments, Lexington, Kentucky.
2. The bill provides for each selective state depository library (one that receives
only selected state publications) to receive one free copy of the Blue Book and the
biennial reports of state agencies.
3. The bill provides for the reference and loan library of the department of
public instruction to receive one free copy of each major state publication. Currently,
the library receives one free copy of other state publications.
4. The bill increases the automatic free distribution of certain state documents
to the Library of Congress.

of the joint legislative council.
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:
