The Joint Committee on Legislative Management is directed from time to time to contract for the publication of such additional copies of the revision of the general statutes as said committee deems necessary, and to so contract for the publication of supplements to and revised volumes of said revision prepared under the provisions of sections 2-56 and 2-59 from time to time. Each revision of the general statutes and any supplements to and revised volumes of the revision shall be printed on paper that meets or exceeds the American National Standards Institute standards for permanent paper, unless such paper is not available. The Secretary of the State shall sell said revision and supplements and may provide for the sale thereof, through some agent or agents, including wholesale and retail book sellers, at a stated price to such agent or agents and to the public at a price fixed by the Joint Committee on Legislative Management, but in no case shall such price for sale of any current volumes or supplements to any person be less than the cost of production of such volumes or supplements, as the case may be.
