      at least one advertisement to be inserted in the official newspaper of its
      respective county, under the heading of "stationery proposals", asking for
      bids for the supplying, for one year, of all books, stationery, records,
      printing, lithographing, and such other supplies, specifically mentioning and
      describing them, as are furnished to the several officers of the county, such
      advertisement to be published not less than twenty nor more than forty days
      prior to the opening of such bids. Such advertisement may be published any
      time during the year as the board deems most advisable. The publication of
      the advertisement may be made in conjunction with any other county or the

      a board of county commissioners may purchase recycled paper under an
      existing price agreement between the state purchasing division and a
      recycled paper supplier when such board has determined that the recycled
      paper available through such agreement is comparable in cost and quality
      to the paper which the county proposes to purchase.
      
           SECTION 2.  In Colorado Revised Statutes, repeal 30-11-111 as

      follows:
      
           30-11-112.  Officer cannot contract or purchase. No county
      officer shall be allowed to contract for or purchase any books, stationery,
      records, printing, lithographing, or other supplies of any kind for use in his
