Senate Says No To Blue Books

This from KMIZ:

JEFFERSON CITY, Mo. (AP) - The Missouri Senate has endorsed an effort to save money by publishing state laws and official information solely online and doing away with printed volumes.

Senators voted Wednesday to stop printing state statute books and Missouri's Official Manual, widely known as the Blue Book. The information already is posted on state websites.

The printing ban was added to a broader bill that would eliminate unnecessary laws. The legislation still needs another vote in the Senate and must be approved by the House.

Senate Majority Leader Kevin Engler, a Republican from Farmington, says printing the manual and statute books wastes money because the online versions are widely used.
