The publications listed in this section shall be sold at a price to be established by the legislative council.

The legislative council shall also consider the number of volumes to be printed, sold, and distributed in the determination of these prices.

1.  The Iowa Code, Iowa Code Supplement, or other supplements, the Iowa administrative code or its supplements, and the Iowa administrative bulletin.

2.  Session laws.

3.  Iowa court rules.

The Iowa administrative code, its supplements, or the Iowa administrative bulletin may be distributed with the Iowa Code or separately. There shall be established separate prices for the Iowa administrative code, for its supplements, for the Iowa administrative bulletin, for the Iowa Code, the Iowa Code Supplement, and other supplements.

When the Iowa Code is published in more than one volume the state printing administrator may distribute each volume on order, after payment of the estimated purchase price for the set, when the volume becomes available.

The legislative council may establish policies for producing, editing, distributing, and pricing electronic publications which contain information stored by the general assembly in an electronic format, including information contained in publications described in this section together with programming not originally part of the stored information. As part of those policies, the council may provide for electronic publications containing specialized search and retrieval functions, and shall ensure the widest possible dissemination of versions of electronic publications containing search and retrieval functions at the lowest price practicable which shall not be more than costs attributable to producing, editing, and disseminating those versions.
