CENTRAL NON-PARTISAN STAFF
Chapters 2A and 2C of The Iowa Code establish the two central nonpartisan legislative agencies which serve the Iowa General Assembly. These agencies operate under the direction of the Legislative Council:
 
LEGISLATIVE SERVICES AGENCY (LSA) - The Legislative Services Agency provides nonpartisan staff services to all members of the General Assembly including committee staffing, legal drafting, budget analysis, research, publishing, and computer technology support.
OFFICE OF CITIZENS' AIDE/OMBUDSMAN (CA/O) - The Citizens' Aide/Ombudsman (CAO) serves Iowans in airing grievances relating to government. By facilitating communication between Iowans and government, the CAO improves the responsiveness and quality of government.
 
NEED INFORMATION?
 
LEGISLATIVE INFORMATION OFFICE - The LIO serves as the primary contact for persons seeking information about the actions and procedures of the Iowa General Assembly. It instructs and informs the public about the Legislature and about the legislative process.
CAPITOL TOUR GUIDES - The Capitol Tour Guides conduct tours of the Capitol and provide general information to building visitors at the Tours and Information Desk in the rotunda area on the first floor of the Capitol.
