Iowa to abolish state printing offices and adopt competitive bids
Iowa lawmakers move to end the state printer and binder offices, shifting public printing to competitive bids. The house substitute would place printing under a commission of the state executive council with a document editor as secretary, requiring open competition for most work. Senate doubt persists on efficiency versus cost. The move aligns with earlier retrenchment reports and aims to save money while preserving service.
