Central Nonpartisan Legislative Agencies: 76-1

Assistance to Other Agencies and Individuals

While the statutory function of the LSB is to provide services directly for legislators, the LSB also provides services for state and other public agencies and citizens if these services will enhance an understanding of the legislative process, provide aid to the General Assembly and do not impede the primary functions of the LSB.

Before the legislative session begins, state agencies and the Governor submit requests for proposed bill drafts to the LSB, which are put into proper form by the drafters. After they are approved by the agency or Governor, the bill drafts are transmitted to the General Assembly as departmental prefiled bills or proposed Governor's bills. These bills are generally assigned to the appropriate committee as study bills.
