AB452,1,2
1An Act to amend 35.01 (3) of the statutes;
relating to: the exemption of State
2Historical Society books from state printing requirements.
Analysis by the Legislative Reference Bureau
Under current law, subject to certain exceptions, all book printing required for
state agencies is subject to certain requirements relating to the publication of public
documents, including certain specification, bidding, and contracting requirements
(public printing requirements). Hardbound books of the State Historical Society
(SHS), however, are exempt from the public printing requirements. Instead, the
printing of hardbound books of the SHS must be procured on individual competitive
bids and by an official state printing order according to specifications determined by
the Department of Administration. This bill exempts all books of the SHS, whether
hardbound or paperback, from the public printing requirements.
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:
AB452, s. 1
