(a) (1) Any report required or requested by law, or identified in the Legislative Analyst’s Supplemental Report of the Budget Act, to be submitted by a state or local agency to a committee of the Legislature or the Members of either house of the Legislature generally, shall instead be submitted as an electronic copy to the Secretary of the Senate, the Chief Clerk of the Assembly, and the Legislative Counsel. Each report shall include a summary of its contents, not to exceed one page in length. If the report is submitted by a state agency, that agency shall also provide an electronic copy of the summary directly to each Member of the appropriate house or houses of the Legislature. Notice of receipt of the report shall also be recorded in the journal of the appropriate house or houses of the Legislature by the secretary or clerk of that house.

(2) In addition to, and as part of, the information made available to the public in electronic form pursuant to Section 10248, the Legislative Counsel shall make available a list of the reports submitted by state and local agencies, as specified in paragraph (1). If the Legislative Counsel receives a request from a member of the public for a report contained in the list, the Legislative Counsel is not required to provide a copy of the report and may refer the requester to the state or local agency, as the case may be, that authored the report, or to the California State Library as the final repository of public information.

(b) A report shall not be distributed to a Member of the Legislature unless specifically requested by that Member.

(d) A state agency report and summary subject to this section shall include an internet website where the report can be downloaded and a telephone number to call to order a hard copy of the report. A report submitted by a state agency subject to this section shall also be posted at the agency’s internet website.
