STATE GOVERNMENT-TECH

This bill amends an existing law regarding the Legislative Printing Unit's ability to produce and distribute newsletters and brochures for state legislators. It establishes specific blackout periods during primary and general elections when these materials cannot be printed or mailed, with a temporary exception for the 2022 primary election cycle. The only allowed mailings during these times are direct responses to constituent inquiries, and the content of all materials is restricted from including campaign information, economic benefits, or unrelated family news. Ultimately, the legislation aims to limit the official use of state printing resources for political campaigning during election seasons.
