Each member of the legislative assembly, constitutional officer of the state, and judge of the
supreme and district courts for the use of their respective offices and departments is entitled to
receive from the state a copy of any publication of the laws of the state and of any compilation
or codification of the laws of the state published under authority of the state. The district court in
every county in the state is entitled to a copy of the publications. The codification of laws of the
state received by each member of the legislative assembly is subject to section 54-03-23. The
legislative council shall designate other offices and agencies of the state that are entitled to
receive copies of a publication of the laws for the use of the state offices and agencies and also
shall determine the number of copies of any publication to be received by any recipient in a
distribution under the provisions of this section, if more than one copy is needed by the recipient
for official use. All agencies that are funded entirely from special state funds or federal funds
must be charged for the actual cost of each copy of the publications that the agency requests.
