A Resolution directing the Legislative Budget and Finance Committee to conduct a financial analysis of the Office of Attorney General, district attorney offices and public defenders in comparison to private law practices and corporate defense firms.

This resolution directs the Legislative Budget and Finance Committee to perform a financial comparison between state legal offices, such as the Office of Attorney General and district attorney offices, and private law firms. The primary goal is to assess whether current funding levels for these public agencies are adequate by analyzing their revenue and expenditures against those of corporate defense firms.
