As nonpartisan departments of the Minnesota House of Representatives, the House Research Department and
Fiscal Analysis Department
provide services to members on a confidential basis. This means that in fulfilling a request for services, the request, the member
making the request, and the response will not be revealed to individuals outside these departments without the member’s permission.
Analysts within these two departments cooperate as needed to fulfill legislators’ requests unless specifically directed not to do so.
When a request requires it, or when a member asks, analysts will work with other nonpartisan legislative offices to complete a request,
specifically:
the Legislative Budget Office,
the Revisor of Statutes, and
the Legislative Reference Library.
