§36-1-3. Reduction of number of printed copies of reports.

Any state official who by law is required to publish an annual, biennial or quadrennial report is authorized to reduce the actual number of printed copies now required by law if, in the opinion of said officer, a decreased number of copies will adequately supply the needs of his department and the public demand; provided, that where more than 500 copies are required by law, the number of printed copies may not be reduced to less than 500 copies.
