Compilations shall be supplemented or revised as often as necessary and at least once every two years. (b) The Secretary of State shall publish in print or electronically a quarterly bulletin in which the Secretary of State shall set forth the text of all rules filed during the preceding quarter. (c) The Secretary of State, in his or her discretion, may omit rules from the bulletin or compilation if their publication would be unduly cumbersome, expensive, or otherwise inexpedient, provided that the omitted rules are made available in electronic, printed, or processed form on application to the adopting agency and that the bulletin or compilation contains a notice stating the general subject matter of the rules so omitted and stating how copies thereof may be obtained. (d) The official compilation, Rules and Regulations of the State of Georgia, and bulletins shall be made available upon request free of charge to the heads of all departments, bureaus, agencies, commissions, and boards of this state; members of the General Assembly; Justices of the Supreme Court, Judges of the Court of Appeals; judges, clerks, and district attorneys of the superior courts. The compilation and bulletins shall be made available upon request to other persons at a price fixed by the Secretary of State to cover publication and mailing costs. (e) The Secretary of State may engage the services of a privately operated editorial and publication firm experienced in the publication of annotated law books to compile, index, and publish such rules. The compilation shall conform in its arrangement as near as practicable to the Code of this state.
