Bill > LB1236

This bill makes several changes to how legislative publications are handled in Nebraska, primarily shifting the responsibility for distribution and publication from the Secretary of State to the Clerk of the Legislature. Key provisions include authorizing the Clerk of the Legislature to distribute laws and journals, and to compile and publish session laws and legislative journals in print or electronic formats. The bill also updates the procedures for county clerks to requisition these publications for their counties, clarifies that county officers must pass on these materials to their successors, and allows remaining copies to be distributed to public libraries. Furthermore, it details the distribution of additional copies of session laws and journals to various state officials and institutions, and specifies that the Revisor of Statutes will oversee the printing of statutes, with the Clerk of the Legislature managing their distribution. The bill also allows for the sale and distribution of statute supplements and replacement volumes by the Clerk of the Legislature, with proceeds going to specific state funds, and clarifies that the library of the College of Law can requisition state publications in print or electronic format. Finally, it removes the Secretary of State's duty to distribute laws and journals, consolidating these tasks under the Clerk of the Legislature.
