The 6 16 division also wanted to change the limitation on the granting 6 17 of emergency contracts from a $2,000 to a $5,000 limitation on 6 18 the cost of the work to be performed. Because the division no 6 19 longer uses mimeograph paper, that reference in Code section 6 20 18.62 is eliminated. Sections 18.75, 18.83 through 18.88, 6 21 18.90 through 18.92, 18.95, and 18.96 are amended to require 6 22 payment of postage for publications handled through the 6 23 division. 6 24 LSB 1131DP 76 6 25 cl/cf/24
