The failed proposal would have state agencies ask Wisconsin legislative offices how many printed Blue Books and free highway maps they want.
Legislative offices would choose how many printed Blue Books to receive within set limits. Other state offices, libraries, and schools would not be guaranteed automatic deliveries.
Lawmakers would receive free highway maps by request, with limits of 50 highway service maps and 500 folded maps per member. Extra service maps would carry a fee.
The Legislative Reference Bureau would ask each legislative office how many printed Blue Books it wants and tell it about the online version. Each legislative office could request copies or choose none. State offices, libraries, and educational institutions would not have a right to automatic Blue Book deliveries. Each Assembly office could request up to 350 copies, and each Senate office could request up to 600. The bureau would ask offices before committing to the number of copies printed every two years.
The Wisconsin Department of Transportation would ask each lawmaker how many highway maps they want and send the requested free copies. Free map orders would cover Wisconsin lawmakers. Legislative officers and the Legislative Reference Bureau would not be guaranteed automatic map deliveries. Each lawmaker could receive up to 50 highway service maps and up to 500 folded highway maps for free. Lawmakers could request additional highway service maps for a fee set by the department. The department would ask lawmakers for their orders when each type of map is published.
No hearings or votes scheduled.
