283.31 Records of executive agency publications.--Each agency shall maintain a record of any publication the printing of which costs in excess of the threshold amount provided in s. 287.017 for CATEGORY THREE, at least part of which is paid for by state funds appropriated by the Legislature. Such record shall also contain the following: written justification of the need for such publication, purpose of such publication, legislative or administrative authority, sources of funding, frequency and number of issues, and reasons for deciding to have the publication printed in-house, by another agency or the Legislature, or purchased on bid. In addition, such record shall contain the comparative costs of alternative printing methods when such costs were a factor in deciding upon a method. Compliance with the provisions of this section shall be included within the scope of audits performed by the Auditor General on each agency, and such audits shall be performed not less than once every 3 years. The Auditor General shall also conduct a financial-related and performance audit of the corporation operating the correctional industry program. Such audit shall be conducted once every 3 years, and the first audit shall be for the period July 1, 1988, through June 30, 1990, to be completed prior to the 1991 regular legislative session. Such audit shall include a review of the printing that the corporation has done for state agencies. This review shall include the cost of materials used, the cost of labor, the cost of overhead, the amount of profit made by the corporation for such printing, and whether the state agencies that contract with the corporation for printing are prudently determining the price paid for such printing. Such audits shall be completed no later than the first day of the regular legislative session.
