The Legislature’s Oversight Role | OAS Episode 258

About this episode

This episode explores the various ways state legislatures oversee state agencies and programs through different mechanisms.

In one fashion or another, all state legislatures exercise oversight of state agencies and programs. They do this in a variety of ways using standing committees, rules review, auditing offices, sunset provisions, and more. On this episode of the podcast, we dive into the topic of oversight with three guests who all have different vantage points to observe the process.
