The Legislative Coordinating Commission (LCC) created this directory to illustrate the services provided by the Joint Offices and Commissions of the Minnesota Legislature. The services described in this directory are available to members of both the Minnesota House of Representatives and Minnesota Senate, and state and local agencies in Minnesota, in addition to the general public.

This directory is intended to provide detailed information about the purpose of each office and commission, the main work each does, and how to access those services. Contact information for each office and commission is included.

The legislature has created a number of commissions to focus on specific areas of policy, such as Minnesota’s environmental resources, pensions, and review of state programs and functions. These commissions carefully examine issues and recommend changes to existing law governing these areas. They also provide regulatory oversight to a number of state agencies and programs.

The Legislative Coordinating Commission (LCC) provides support to many of the commissions, as well as the joint offices of the Legislative Reference Library, the Office of the Revisor of Statutes, the Office of the Legislative Auditor, and the Legislative Budget Office. In addition, several offices and task forces benefit from the resources of the LCC.

These offices operate independently, though they work together toward the same goals to provide coordinated services to both houses of the Legislature. The diagram on the following page illustrates generally how the offices relate to one another.

If you have any questions or suggestions about this directory, contact the Legislative Coordinating Commission at 651-296-0099 or lcc@lcc.mn.gov.
