The California Office of Legislative Counsel (OLC) (referenced in statute by its original name, the Legislative Counsel Bureau)[1] was founded in 1913 and is a nonpartisan public agency that drafts legislative proposals, prepares legal opinions, and provides other confidential legal services to the Legislature and certain other California agencies and offices.
[2][3] The head of the office, known as the Legislative Counsel of California, is appointed by a vote of the Legislature.
[4] The OLC is separate from the California Legislative Analyst's Office, which is the Legislature's nonpartisan fiscal and policy advisor.
As of 2024[update], the Legislative Counsel of California is Cara L. Jenkins, who first was appointed in 2020.
