Bill > A00304

This bill establishes the "division of research and analysis" as a nonpartisan part of the legislative library, which will assist members of the legislature by providing research and analysis on policy issues. The division will be led by a director appointed by the speaker of the assembly and majority leader of the senate, and will have the ability to conduct confidential research for individual legislators as well as produce public memoranda on general issues. The bill aims to empower the legislature by providing an independent and trustworthy source of information to facilitate the lawmaking process.
