Statutory Authority
The Public Printer was established by law in 1854. Chapter 43.78 of the Revised Code of Washington charges the Department of Printing with providing all printing and binding for the legislature, the state, and its various agencies, boards and commissions. The law also allows the Department of Printing to enter into agreements to perform printing and related services for other government.
