SUMMARY: Allows the Department of General Services (DGS) to engage in a pilot printing program that could be funded by a participating vendor. The Senate amendments: 1)Broaden the type of pilot printing program allowed. 2)Allow, but do not require, the participating vendor to cover pilot costs. EXISTING LAW requires the Office of State Printing (OSP), under DGS to conduct all state printing and generally provides OSP with discretion to determine appropriate printing methods. AB 362 Page 2 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.
