Bill > SF2801

This bill modifies provisions related to joint legislative studies in Minnesota by updating the responsibilities of the Legislative Coordinating Commission (LCC). Specifically, the bill adds the phrase "office or" when describing which existing legislative entities can be assigned joint legislative studies, thereby expanding the potential recipients of study assignments. The bill maintains the LCC's primary role of overseeing and coordinating joint legislative studies mandated by the legislature, including the ability to require progress reports to the commission and appropriate legislative committees. The legislation also preserves the existing provisions that allow the LCC to delegate both responsibility and appropriations for a study to various legislative offices, commissions, committees, or state agencies, and allows the assigned entity to contract with other agents for study assistance. This change appears to provide more flexibility in how joint legislative studies can be conducted and managed within the Minnesota legislative system.
