	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1079, as introduced, Walters. State agencies: advertising
agreements.
   Existing law requires a state agency, when preparing any notice,
advertisement, or publication in any newspaper or other medium, to
deliver the notice, advertisement, or publication to the Department
of General Services for approval.
   Existing law authorizes the Office of State Printing, within the
department, which is responsible for all state printing, to accept
paid advertisements in materials printed or published by the state,
except for paid political advertising.
   This bill would authorize a state agency to enter into an
agreement to place paid advertisements, except for political
advertising, on agency literature or publications. The bill would
also provide that funds derived from the paid advertisements be
available to the agency, upon appropriation by the Legislature, to
fund agency operations.
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
State-mandated local program: no.
