Legislative
Coordinating Commission

The Minnesota Legislature has created nonpartisan joint legislative offices and commissions under the fiscal and administrative oversight of the Legislative Coordinating Commission (LCC), a governance body comprised of members of the House of Representatives and the Minnesota Senate. The LCC governance body works with the LCC office to review and approve budgets, identify the total staff complement, and establish the compensation of the employees of the joint legislative offices and commissions.

The LCC office serves as the umbrella organization for joint legislative offices, commissions, , and other boards. Staff within the LCC office:

• Conduct research and provide administrative services to numerous commissions, councils, working groups, and task forces;
• Provide human resources, fiscal services, and operations support to joint legislative offices and commissions;
• Serve as the repository for statewide boundary information for legislative use, including mapping and data services through the Geographic Information Services Office;
• Fulfill the statutory requirements of the Office of Economic Status of Women;
• Coordinate accessibility and language services across the legislature; and
• Maintains Minnesota’s Legacy website, which displays how funds from the Legacy Amendment and the Environment and Natural Resources Trust Fund are utilized throughout the state.

The LCC is charged with many additional activities that encompass the full legislature such as establishing a benefits plan for members and staff, facilitating arrangements for visiting international and state delegations to the legislature, and serving as a fiscal agent for multiple shared functions of the Minnesota Legislature.
