One (1) volume of the advance sheets shall be provided free of cost to each state government agency, to each respective Legislative Services Office of the House of Representatives and the Senate, to the Legislative Reference Bureau, and to each sheriff, chancery clerk, circuit clerk, superintendent of education, tax assessor, county prosecuting attorney, justice court judge, attorney for each county’s board of supervisors, each municipal clerk, district attorney, circuit judge, chancellor, county court judge and Supreme Court judge. The joint committee shall authorize the publishing company to make copies of the advance sheets available to each member of the Mississippi Bar Association in good standing, according to the records of the secretary of the Mississippi Bar Association, at a reasonable cost, including preparation, printing, shipping and handling. The Office of the Secretary of State shall provide or make available to the publishing company such information regarding the general laws enacted by the Legislature as necessary for the publishing company to prepare and publish the advance sheets.
