§94-6  Studies.  Within ten days
following the initiation of any study to be done on a contractual basis by the
State or one of its political subdivisions, or any agency thereof, the
initiating department or agency shall notify the state archivist of the initiation
of the study in the form of notice prescribed by the archivist.



The archivist shall maintain a complete and
current index of all studies so initiated and shall, at least semi-annually
send current copies of this index to the governor, the mayors of the respective
counties, the legislative reference bureau and the legislative auditor.



The archivist may at any time request that a
copy of any study or portion of a study be deposited with the archives and this
request shall be complied with by the department or agency initiating the
study.



This section shall apply to all studies of
whatever nature; provided, however, that to the extent that the governor or
mayor of any county initiating a study determines that compliance with any
portion of this section would be contrary to the public interest they may waive
compliance with respect to any study initiated under their jurisdiction. [L
