Maddy summaryThis concurrent resolution (SCR 9) commemorates the 50th anniversary of Oregon’s Legislative Commission on Indian Services (LCIS), a state commission established in 1975. LCIS serves as Oregon’s first permanent forum for tribal-state government consultation, advising the Legislature and state agencies on American Indian concerns and facilitating communication between Oregon’s nine federally recognized tribes and state government. The resolution honors LCIS’s role in addressing tribal needs, monitoring relevant legislation, and promoting intergovernmental cooperation. It does not create new policies or affect specific legislation, as it is purely a ceremonial recognition of the commission’s longstanding service.
