Interim Study Committees
Almost all legislative studies are conducted by one or more standing committees or subcommittees or by joint subcommittees authorized by the Joint Rules Committee. DLS provides professional staff, both research and legal, for each of these study groups. The Offices of the Clerks of the House and Senate furnish clerical and administrative support as they do during sessions.
