Printing Act of 1895

Citation
General Printing Act of 1895

Overview
The Act transferred the position of Superintendent of Documents to the Government Printing Office (GPO), brought all other federal printing plants under GPO's control, provided rules and standards concerning compensation, purchasing supplies, setting prices, and outlined GPO's organization. These changes would form the basis for the public printing and documents statutes contained in Title 44 of the United States Code today.
