Legislative Budget Office Oversight Commission

The Legislative Budget Office Oversight Commission (LBO Oversight Commission), is a bipartisan bicameral commission with four members from the House of Representatives and four members from the Senate. The LBO director serves as the executive secretary of the commission. The chief nonpartisan fiscal analyst of the House of Representatives, the principal nonpartisan fiscal analyst of the Senate, the commissioner of Minnesota Management and Budget or a designee, and the legislative auditor are ex-officio, nonvoting members of the Commission. The Commission chair and vice chair are elected by the members of the Commission and rotate every two years between the House and Senate.

The LBO Oversight Commission has the following responsibilities:

• Appoint a director for the LBO
• Approve uniform standards and procedures governing the fiscal note process
• Review the work of the LBO

The commission appointed the current LBO director on August 17, 2022, and approved the fiscal note uniform standards and procedures that govern the fiscal note process in October 2023.
