The Office of Legislative Services (OLS) operates under the jurisdiction of the Legislative Services Commission, a 16-member bipartisan panel with equal representation from each house. The commission establishes general operating and budgetary policies for OLS, appoints its primary officers (executive director, legislative counsel, legislative budget and finance officer and director of public information) and delegates authority for day-to-day operations and personnel actions to the executive director. As nonpartisan employees of the Legislature, members of the OLS staff are prohibited from engaging in political activity or taking a public position with regard to any matter before the Legislature.
