Abstract: Authorizes agencies to e-mail lists of reports and publications to members of the
legislature.
Present law addresses the distribution of agency reports to the legislature. Authorizes the
submission of one printed copy of a report to the presiding officer of each house as adequate
compliance with any provision of law or any resolution requesting the submission of a report
to the legislature. Present law further directs the agency to e-mail an electronic copy of the
report to the David R. Poynter Legislative Research Library. Present law also requires each
agency to annually mail a list of its reports and publications to each member of the
legislature. Proposed law retains present law.
Present law requires this list of reports and publications to be sent to legislators via postal
mail. Proposed law requires sending the lists via electronic mail (e-mail).
