Legislative Coordinating Commission

The Minnesota 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, 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 LCC serves as the umbrella organization for the joint legislative offices and commissions. For more information about the LCC visit
