Staff
Research Reports
The
Legislative Service Commission staff sometimes is requested to engage
in specialized long-term research projects. Since these projects
require a great deal of staff time and effort, the Commission
(composed of legislators) must approve this type of research project
before it is undertaken by the LSC staff. At times, the Commission
appoints a special committee of legislators to undertake such a
long-term project with LSC staff assistance. On other occasions, the
staff is responsible for conducting the research and reporting staff
findings back to the Commission.
