[H 623]

Approved April 1, 1954
Be it enacted by the General Assembly of Virginia:

1. That §§ 2-228, 2-232 and 2-240, as amended, of the Code of Virginia
be amended and reenacted as follows:

§ 2-228. The Comptroller shall cause to be printed * two hundred
and fifty copies of every bill, resolution, joint resolution, House docu-
ment, Senate document, or other matter ordered to be printed for use
of the Senate or House of Delegates and intended for temporary use. The
Comptroller shall have authority to increase the number of copies of
bills, and so forth, to be printed, whenever it shall become necessary,
to supply the requirement of the General Assembly and to provide copies
required for sale and distribution under the provisions of §§ 2-229,
2-230, 2-231 of the Code of Virginia.
In printing any bill, resolution and joint resolution there shall not
be allowed on the first page thereof between the folio line and the
heading or title a space in excess of one-half inch. Reasonable space shall
be allowed between the title of a bill or resolution and the body thereof
for the printing of the name or names of the patron or patrons, and, for
the name of the committee of the House or Senate to which the same is
referred. Spacing between the lines of the title and of the body of the bill
or resolution shall not be in excess of a six point slug. All bills and
resolutions shall be set in ten point type. House and Senate documents
shall be set in ten point type, allowing reasonable space between title
and body of the document and normal spacing between paragraphs, in
keeping with recognized practices in the printing.

However, if for any reason the use of a type face and/or spacing
between lines, different from that herein prescribed, will result in economy
in printing, upon recommendation of the Comptroller and approval thereof
by the Joint Committee on Printing of the Senate and House of Delegates
such recommended and approved type face and/or spacing between lines
may be used.

§ 2-232. The Comptroller shall cause to be printed * as soon as
approved by the Governor, four thousand copies of the acts and joint
resolutions of the General Assembly. As printing progresses a sufficient
number, approximately seven hundred fifty copies, shall be stapled in
sections of approximately two hundred pages each for distribution as
advance sheets of the Acts of Assembly and shall be distributed promptly
as follows:

§ 2-240. The Comptroller shall cause to be printed all annual reports
authorized to be printed and by such method or methods of reproduction
as may be to the best advantage or result in effectuating economies. * All
such printing shall be done in accordance with the provisions of § 2-221
of the Code of Virginia.
