I forgot to mention in my original email that we catalog numerous state government publications that are published?/issued? by state agencies and not commercial publishers. I lean towards using issuing body for these types of publications but wasn't sure if my leaning was in the right direction.

An issuing body may not be the publisher. Many journals are issued by a scholarly society but published by a commercial publisher. When the issuing body and publisher are the same, you could use two relationship designators, but so far I've just used issuing body.
