Context:
The Legislative Coordinating Commission (LCC) (http://www.lcc.leg.mn/) serves as the umbrella organization for legislative commissions, joint agencies, and other boards. The Geographic Information Services Office (http://www.gis.leg.mn/index.html) of the LCC is the repository for statewide boundary information for legislative use and provides mapping and data services for the legislature, state agencies and the public. The LCC maintains the Minnesota’s Legacy website (http://www.legacy.leg.mn/) which displays how funds from the Legacy Amendment and the Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund are being utilized throughout the state. Additionally, the LCC facilitates arrangements for visiting international and state delegations to the legislature.
The LCC provides fiscal and administrative support for the Compensation Council, the Joint House/Senate Subcommittee on Claims, the Office of the Economic Status of Women, the Regent Candidate Advisory Council, the Trustee Candidate Advisory Council, the Sunset Advisory Commission, and the Subcommittee on Employee Relations. All joint legislative offices and commissions (http://www.commissions.leg.state.mn.us/depts.htm) are nonpartisan.
The Legislative Reference Library (LRL) (http://www.leg.state.mn.us/lrl/lrl.aspx) collects, indexes, publishes, and makes available public policy information both online and in the library. The LRL serves the legislature, executive agencies, and the public by assuring access to essential information resources which support the legislative process and promote the understanding of state government.
The Office of the Revisor of Statutes (https://www.revisor.mn.gov/) provides drafting, editing, publication, and computer services to members of both houses of the legislature as well as all constitutional offices and all state agencies and departments. Drafting services are provided on a confidential basis and consist primarily of bills and administrative rules. The office prepares amendments, committee reports, engrossments, side-by-side bill comparisons, conference committee reports, and, under the direction of the House and Senate, the office enrolls bills and presents them to the Governor. The office also publishes Laws of Minnesota, Minnesota Statutes, and Minnesota Rules, in both print and electronic formats.
The Legislative Commission on Pension and Retirement (http://www.lcpr.leg.mn/lcprmain.htm) studies and investigates on an ongoing basis the various public retirement systems applicable to nonfederal government employees in the state and makes recommendations to establish and maintain sound public employee pension legislation.
The Legislative-Citizen Commission on Minnesota Resources (LCCMR) (http://www.lccmr.leg.mn/lccmr.htm) advises the legislature and provides oversight on the allocation of certain dedicated environment and natural resources funding sources, primarily the constitutional dedicated Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund from State Lottery proceeds, for projects for public purpose of protection, conservation, preservation and enhancement of the state’s air, water, land, fish, wildlife, and other natural resources.
The Lessard-Sams Outdoor Heritage Council (LSOHC) (http://www.lsohc.leg.mn/) provides annual funding recommendations to the legislature from the Outdoor Heritage Fund. The LSOHC ensures that recommendations are consistent with the Constitution and state law and take into consideration the outcomes of, including, but not limited to, the Minnesota Conservation and Preservation Plan, that directly relate to the restoration, protection, and enhancement of wetlands, prairies, forests, and habitat for fish, game, and wildlife, and that prevent forest fragmentation, encourage forest consolidation, and expand restored native prairie.
