Hazelton puts out a lot of literature that's used in AA meetings. Conference approved stuff usually isn't voted on and approved to be used in an AA meeting. All other literature in general, is supposed to be voted on by group conscience. Actually I use verses out of the Bible pretty much on a daily basis which isn't conference approved, at least it wasn't the last time I checked. Meetings are autonomous and can use whatever literature is approved of by the group as long as it doesn't directly affect other groups or AA as a whole.
