Conference Committee Text

PAG LIN
  1  1    Section 1.  Section 618.11, Code 1995, is amended to read
  1  2 as follows:
  1  3    618.11  FEES FOR PUBLICATION.
  1  4    The compensation, when not otherwise fixed, for the
  1  5 publication in a newspaper of any notice, order, citation, or
  1  6 other publication required or allowed by law, shall not exceed
  1  7 twenty-six cents for one insertion, and seventeen cents for
  1  8 each subsequent insertion, for each line of eight-point type
  1  9 two inches in length, or its equivalent shall be as
  1 10 established by the superintendent of printing who shall
  1 11 annually review, and adjust when necessary, compensation rates
  1 12 to reflect changes in economic conditions within the newspaper
  1 13 industry and the general economy of the state.  Publication of
  1 14 matter which may be photographically reproduced for printing
  1 15 instead of typeset shall be compensated at a rate not to
  1 16 exceed the lowest available earned rate for any similar
  1 17 advertising matter.  Statements of itemized financial and
  1 18 other like columnar matter shall be published in tabular form
  1 19 without additional compensation.  In case of controversy or
  1 20 doubt regarding measurements, style, manner, or form, the
  1 21 controversy shall be referred to the executive council, and
  1 22 its decision is final.  Prior to establishing or adjusting any
  1 23 rate the superintendent of printing shall consult with
  1 24 representatives of the daily and weekly newspaper industry and
  1 25 with representatives of affected units of local government.  
  1 26                           EXPLANATION
  1 27    The bill removes the set statutory rate of compensation for
  1 28 publication of notices for which rates are not otherwise set
  1 29 by statute and requires that a rate be established by the
  1 30 superintendent of printing after consultation with
  1 31 representatives of affected local governmental entities and
  1 32 the newspaper industry.  Rates are required to be reviewed
  1 33 annually, with adjustment made by the superintendent of
  1 34 printing if necessary to more accurately reflect current
  1 35 economic conditions.
