LPRO Background Briefs

Overview

The Legislative Policy and Research Office is responsible for the maintaining information on issues germane to the business of Oregon's Legislative Committees. The following pieces have been prepared by LPRO analysts, and are presented to assist in the understanding of issues likely to come up in committee. Please compare this first layout to the following.

Early Childhood and Family Supports

Here some language about each policy area can be inserted. I am considering creating policy area pages that would then have links to the appropriate committee pages. This is the first layout.
