HOUSE BILL NO. 1114 Offered January 22, 1996 A BILL to amend and reenact § 2.1-466 of the Code of Virginia, relating to the printing of certain reports by state agencies. ---------- Patrons-- Ruff, Cox, Dudley, Ingram and Nixon ---------- Referred to Committee on General Laws ----------

Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That § 2.1-466 of the Code of Virginia is amended and reenacted as follows:

§ 2.1-466. Printing of annual reports of state agencies.

A. The Division shall provide state agencies with technical assistance and advice, as far as may be practicable, in the manner and method of preparation of copy for, format of, method of reproduction of, etc., annual reports, whether required by statute or otherwise to be submitted to either the Governor or some other official or controlling body, board, commission, etc., of the Commonwealth. If the Governor so directs, the Division shall edit for the purpose of reducing and condensing the reports, but the content of any annual report constituting all or any part of a formal opinion or decision of any administrative agency or tribunal shall not be subject to any editorial change or deletion.

The cost of printing annual reports shall be borne by the agencies of the government for which said reports are printed.

In the printing of annual reports, as in all classes of the state work, the officer preparing the report or other documents shall in all cases be responsible for the matter contained therein.

B. Each annual report or publication prepared for distribution by any state agency or institution of higher education, for which the total cost exceeds $10,000, shall have conspicuously displayed on the front or back of its first two pages: (i) its unit cost and (ii) the total cost for the publication. As used in this subsection, "total cost" includes, but is not limited to, the writing, editorial and printing expenses incidental to the publication of the document.
