Your question is as follows: y Does anything in Arkansas law preclude our charging a subscription fee for a magazine that at first will be supported primarily by state tax revenues? The Department of Parks and Tourism Director is charged with preparing and distributing advertising material concerning the State of Arkansas. Ark. Stat. Ann. §9-201, No provision of that statute addresses whether the Department can charge a fee for any of the materials. No other provision of state law has béen found to prohibit such a fee. How to distribute advertising materials is left to the discretion of the Director. It appears to be within that discretion to charge a subscription for advertising materials when same is determined by the Director to be in the State's best interest. The foregoing opinion, which I hereby approve, was prepared by Assistant Attorney General Thomas S. Gay. Sin erely, | Attornby General JSC: TSG: jk
