(b) A codification published under subsection (a) shall be printed and bound in permanent form and shall be designated as the "Code of State Regulationsâ€�.

A general index to the entire code of state regulations shall be separately printed and bound.

(c) The secretary of state shall regulate the supplementation and the collation and republication of the printed codifications with a view to keeping the code of state regulations as current as practicable. Each book shall be either supplemented or collated and republished at least once each calendar year.

(d) The office of the state register shall prepare and publish the codifications, supplements, collations, and indexes authorized by this section.

(e) The codified documents of the several agencies published in the supplemental addition of the state register under this section, as amended by documents subsequently filed with the office of secretary of state and published in the daily issues of the state register, shall be prima facie evidence of the text of the documents and of the fact that they are in effect on and after the date of publication.

(f) The secretary of state shall prescribe regulations for carrying out this section and the fee to be charged to state agencies, boards, commissions, departments, subscribers, and the general public and all independent agencies, boards, commissions, and departments not subject to the control of the state controller.
