The Joint Legislative Systems Committee oversees the direction of information technology in the Legislature and enforces the policies, procedures and standards established by the Committee. It functions primarily through the activities of its operating arm, the Legislative Service Center (LSC). LSC is the non-partisan technology solutions provider for the Legislature and provides a full range of information technology services to the House, Senate and legislative agencies. LSC's services include computing and telecommunications operations, equipment maintenance and repair, custom applications development, support and management of an extensive suite of Legislative systems, technology training, Help Desk and embedded customer support. In addition, LSC provides extensive public access to legislative information.

The Legislative Service Center (LSC) was created by legislation in July 1986 to manage and evolve the Legislature's computing environment. The scope of its responsibilities include hardware, software, custom applications, telecommunications, operations, website development, training support, business analysis, continuity planning and strategic planning services. LSC operates under the authority of the Joint Legislative Systems Committee, which oversees the strategic direction of the Legislature's information technology, and the Joint Legislative Systems Administrative Committee, which oversees the management of that information technology.
