The Law and Justice Interim Committee (LJIC) is a joint bipartisan committee
of the legislature that meets between legislative sessions. The LJIC: (1) monitors
the activities of the Department
of Corrections, the Department
of Justice, the Office
of State Public Defender, and the Judicial
Branch; (2) examines law and justice policy issues; and (3) makes recommendations
to the full legislature. The LJIC's responsibilities include reviewing the administrative
rules of assigned executive branch agencies (Corrections, Justice, and the Public
Defender).
The 2007-2008 LJIC will not be meeting again. The final report will be posted
here and on the staff reports page when it is completed. The committee's final
recommendations are its proposed legislation.
