OPINIONS OF THE ATTORNEY GENERAL
State reporter is proper budget unit for appropriations.
- Because the reporter is primarily responsible for the production of the reports, and because the reporter has the responsibility of furnishing a manuscript of the decisions to the state publisher and of ascertaining proper performance by the publisher, and because failure of a report to be published is directly attributable to the reporter, the state reporter is the proper budget unit to which appropriations for state reports should be directed. 1971 Op. Att'y Gen. 71-103.
