Members of the Oregon State Legislature rely on the subject matter expertise of the Legislative Policy and Research Office (LPRO) to provide non-partisan, objective research, data, and committee management to help craft the legislation that affects all Oregonians. LPRO Research Analysts design, execute, and present major research and analysis projects to inform policy development and evaluation by the members of the Legislative Assembly.
