It is the law, see NRS 378.150 - .210
State agencies send at least 10 copies of each print publication. 12 copies is the ideal, as that allows the SPDC to make a full distribution.
Cities, counties, regional agencies, school districts, and special district agencies send 6 copies.
The Nevada statute offers three tests for determining if your publication fits the parameters of a state publication:
Is it produced pursuant to the authority of or at the total or partial expense of a state agency or local government?
Is it required by law to be distributed by a state agency or local government?
Is it distributed publicly by a state agency or local government outside that state agency or local government?
For more detailed information about determining what a state publication is, refer to the Handbook for State Agency Contacts. If you have any questions about State Publications please feel free to email the Government Publications Librarian, or call program staff at (775) 684-3332.
Any format that is used to distribute information to the public is also appropriate to send to the SPDC. This may include both print and electronic formats.
