1715     FORMS MANAGEMENT TRAINING AND GUIDELINES 
(Revised 9/04)

As required by Government Code Section 14771(4), the FMC provides training and assistance in all aspects of establishing and implementing a forms management program.  The training consists of three classes, Forms Management, Forms Analysis and Design, and Introduction to Electronic Forms.  These classes are available to any state employee who has forms management, analysis, and/or design responsibilities.  Agency DFCs are strongly encouraged to attend these classes.

All agencies must implement an effective forms management program as detailed in the Forms Management Handbook, SAM 1700, and the SAM 1700 Addendum.  The handbook and SAM 1700 Addendum contains guidelines for the program and are used in the FMC's classes.  The Forms Design Handbook, which is used in the Forms Analysis and Design class, explains the basic techniques and criteria of proper forms design for the State of California.
