Relating to: the distribution of the Wisconsin Blue Book and highway maps. (FE)
This bill modifies how the Wisconsin Blue Book and highway maps are distributed to state legislators, changing from automatic distribution to a request-based system. Under the new rules, legislative offices must request copies of the Blue Book before printing, with each Senator allowed up to 600 copies and each Assembly Representative up to 350 copies. Highway service maps will be provided free of charge to each legislator and officer, with a limit of 50 copies per person, while folded highway maps will be distributed without charge to each legislator and officer with a limit of 500 copies per person. The bill also requires the department to contact legislators to determine their specific needs before distributing these documents, ensuring that distribution matches actual demand rather than being automatically sent to all members.
