  1. The publisher, with the approval of the reporter, may choose the most efficient and advantageous method of producing the reports so long as the style and quality of the reports are not compromised by any change in the method of printing and binding the reports.
  2. Should the work of printing and binding the reports or any part of them be done improperly, it shall be the duty of the reporter to advise the publisher by written notice of the deficiencies in the reports. The publisher shall have 60 days to make the necessary corrections. In the event the publisher fails to cure the deficiencies, the reporter may declare the contract breached and ended and assess the publisher for any damages the state may realize for the breach. The bond given by the publisher shall be liable for any sum assessed.
  3. The reporter may seek, and must seek if requested in writing by the publisher, advice regarding the quality of the reports, such advice to be obtained from a panel composed of the Chief Justice of the Supreme Court, the Chief Judge of the Court of Appeals, an appointee of the Governor who is not the Attorney General, the executive counsel, and the legislative counsel. The publisher and the reporter shall be allowed to appear before the panel and present any material relevant to the quality of the reports. The decision of the panel is final.

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.
