	LEGISLATIVE COUNSEL'S DIGEST


   SB 1079, Walters. Office of State Printing: paid advertisements:
authorization.
   Existing law authorizes the Office of State Printing, also known
as the Office of State Publishing, to accept paid advertisements in
materials printed or published by the state, except for paid
political advertising.
   This bill would specifically authorize the office 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. The bill would require the office to
receive written consent, as specified, in order to apply these
provisions to an executive branch agency administered by a
constitutional officer other than the Governor.


THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF CALIFORNIA DO ENACT AS FOLLOWS:

  SECTION 1.  Section 14851 of the Government Code is amended to
read:
   14851.  (a) Except as provided in subdivision (e) or (f), the
Office of State Publishing may accept or authorize paid
advertisements in materials printed or published by the office, a
state agency, or a vendor, except that the office shall not print,
publish, or authorize paid political advertising.
   (b) The Office of State Publishing may print checks and other
printed matter necessary for the operation of any industry board or
state agricultural district board at the expense of the state.
   (c) To reduce duplication of staff resources and to provide
consistency in the review for appropriateness of advertisements, an
agency of the state that was not authorized to accept paid
advertising in its publications before January 1, 2006, shall use the
services of the Office of State Publishing for all paid advertising
in its publications.
   (d) Funds derived from the placement of paid advertisements on
agency literature or publications pursuant to this section shall be
available to the agency, upon appropriation by the Legislature, to
fund agency operations.
   (e) The Office of State Publishing shall not accept or authorize
any paid advertisements in materials printed or published for the
Secretary of State.
   (f) The authorization provided in subdivision (a) to the Office of
State Publishing shall apply to materials printed or published for
an executive branch agency administered by a constitutional officer
other than the Governor only upon the written consent of the director
of the agency or his or her designee. The director or his or her
designee may revoke this consent at any time in a writing
appropriately delivered to the Office of State Publishing.
