	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1079, as amended, Walters. Office of State Printing: paid
advertisements: authorization.
   Existing law authorizes the Office of State Printing, also known

materials printed or published by the state, except for paid
political advertising.

Printing to allow paid advertisements, except for paid political
advertising, in materials printed or published by a state agency or
vendor.  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. The bill would prohibit
the office from accepting or authorizing any paid advertisements in
materials printed or published for the Secretary of State. 
   Vote: majority. Appropriation: no. Fiscal committee: yes.
