Advisory Division
At every level of state government, elected officials do their best to make intelligent, well-considered decisions. To do so, they must rely on sound legal advice—often provided by the Attorney General’s Advisory Division.
Large state agencies and individual officials alike depend on the Advisory Division’s counsel. The division also publishes official opinions related to significant state issues.
The Advisory Division does not make or recommend policy. Rather, it guides officials in their efforts to understand specific state statutes, policies and procedures.
