ABOUT JLCB  

The Joint Legislative Committee on the Budget (JLCB) is created by statute (R.S. 24:651 et seq.) as the budgetary and fiscal representative of the Louisiana Legislature.  The committee is tasked with assisting the legislature in the discharge of its fiscal and budgetary responsibilities under the Constitution of Louisiana and to provide the legislature with information relative to such responsibilities.  It is composed of the members of the House Committee on Appropriations and the Senate Committee on Finance and the Chairmen of the House Committee on Ways and Means and the Senate Committee on Revenue and Fiscal Affairs.

The committee staff alternates every two years between the House Fiscal Division and Senate Fiscal Services. From January 1, 2026 to December 31, 2027 the House Fiscal Division will staff the committee. Additionally, the Legislative Fiscal Office and the Legislative Auditor assist the committee in the execution of its functions and duties.
