GOVERNMENT CODE

SECTION 9760-9768

9760. Whenever a law is signed by the Governor, official notice of
the fact shall be forwarded, in writing, to the State Printing
Office.

9761. Upon the receipt of the notice, the State Printing Office
shall print for the use of the Legislature such number of copies of
the law, or joint or concurrent resolution, as is provided for by the
rules of the Legislature and the necessary number of sheets to make
the number of copies of the Statutes required by law to be printed.
One composition of type shall answer the purpose of such printing.

9762. When a new or a revised code is established, it shall be
prepared by the Legislative Counsel with all amendments and
superseding sections enacted during the session properly inserted,
and with proper notes indicating the original text and any
intermediate amendments. The code, as enacted, shall not be printed
until after thirty days (30) after final adjournment of the
Legislature, when it shall be printed by the State Printing Office as
prepared by the Legislative Counsel pursuant to this section. The
act as so printed shall be included in its proper sequence in the
bound volume of the Statutes of the session. This section does not
apply to a new or revised code which is enacted as an urgency
measure. For the purposes of this section, a code is any act of the
Legislature which is entitled a code.

9763. The Department of General Services shall direct the
preparation of the statutes of each session of the Legislature after
each regular session. The statutes for each special session shall be

Legislative Budget Committee the department shall direct the
preparation of the statutes of a particular special session after
such special session.

9764. The statutes of each session shall be prepared for printing
and publication by the Legislative Counsel, the State Librarian, or
such other state agency authorized or required by law to render the
service when directed or requested, as the Department of General
Services directs or requests in writing.

9765. Preparation of the statutes shall include the making of an
index and statutory record, and the delivery thereof to the State
Printing Office as soon as practicable after final adjournment of the
Legislature. The date of approval or adoption of each act and its
effective date shall be prefixed to its text. The cost of preparation
shall be paid from the same source as the cost of printing and
publishing the statutes is paid.

(1) The Governor.

provision of law, printed copies of the statutes shall only be bound
in the number determined by the Department of General Services to be
necessary to meet the demand therefor.
