Senate Committee on Government Operations

House Committee on Government Operations

Background:  In 1977 the Legislature abolished the state Printing and Duplicating Committee, which had oversight of printing and duplicating activities in the Department of General Administration, the Office of Financial Management and the office of the State Printer.  The responsibilities of this committee were temporarily consolidated as a department within the Department of General Administration, and named the "printing and duplicating center."  The 1977 legislation required the center to submit recommendations to the Legislature by January 31, 1981 regarding the "functional disposition of the center's responsibilities."  The statute also provided that the center would cease to exist on June 30, 1981.  The center has ceased to exist, and the statutory provisions should be repealed.

Summary:  The statutory provisions establishing the printing and duplicating center in the Department of General Administration and providing for its termination on June 30, 1981 are repealed.
