Education & Local Government Interim Committee
2007-2008
The Education and Local Government (ELG) Interim Committee is a joint bipartisan
committee of the legislature that meets between legislative sessions. The ELG’s
statutory duties include review of proposed administrative rules and draft legislation,
as well as completing any studies assigned to it. They also entail monitoring
the operations of, and providing information to, the State Board of Education,
Board of Public Education, Board
of Regents of Higher Education, and the Office
of Public Instruction. Lastly, the ELG acts as a liaison with local governments,
providing an important forum for discussion of strong, effective governance
at the community and county level.
