FISCAL EFFECT: This bill, as amended, has not been analyzed by
a Senate fiscal committee.
COMMENTS: Senate amendments broaden the type of printing pilot
allowed to include those that use sustainable printing
practices. The previous version of this bill specified that the
pilot could be for the process free printing plates method only.
Amendments allow for this method or other sustainable
practices.
Senate amendments also allow, but do not require, the
participating vendor to pay pilot costs. The previous version
of the bill required the vendor to cover these costs.
