477.235. Publications revolving fund established, funding, exemption — sale of publications to public. — 1. There is hereby created in the state treasury the "Supreme Court Publications Revolving Fund", which shall be administered by the clerk of the supreme court. All funds received by the clerk from the sale of publications including, but not limited to, an appellate court opinion summary and an appellate court pending issues digest shall be credited to the fund. The state treasurer is the custodian of the fund and shall approve disbursements from the fund at the request of the clerk of the supreme court to purchase goods or services which will ultimately be used in the production of publications.
2. Copies of, or subscriptions to, publications shall be made available to the public by the clerk of the supreme court for a reasonable charge established by him. The charge shall be an amount sufficient to defray the costs of compiling, publishing, and mailing, including all personnel costs. The clerk may waive the charge for a copy or subscription of a publication for any public officer.
3. The supreme court publications revolving fund shall be funded annually by appropriation. An unexpended balance in the fund at the end of the fiscal year not exceeding fifty thousand dollars is exempt from the provisions of section 33.080 relating to the transfer of unexpended balances to the general revenue fund.
4. The general assembly may transfer from the general revenue fund to the supreme court publications revolving fund a sum not to exceed fifteen thousand dollars to enable the clerk of the supreme court to continue publications until sufficient funds have accumulated from sales of copies or subscriptions. The clerk shall issue a warrant to the supreme court publications revolving fund at such time that he deems the balance in the fund sufficient, but not later than twenty-four months after the transfer from the general revenue fund, payable to the general revenue fund of the state to repay the money transferred to the supreme court publications revolving fund from the general revenue fund.
