Commentary on Our Mission Statement

The Legislative Commissioners' Office provides services primarily to legislators, including legislative leaders, committees, and rank and file legislators, as well as legislative staff. Our mission is based on carrying out our responsibilities in ways that satisfy the expectations and needs of legislators and other people to whom we provide services.

Those persons we provide services to expect LCO to respond quickly, accurately and thoroughly in ways that enhance their ability to carry out their responsibilities effectively, such as with bills that are easy to read and understand.
