§ 9-1-2. Purpose of act

The purpose of the Executive Reorganization Act is to allow for more efficient management

of the executive branch by creating an executive cabinet composed of secretaries of

departments; to eliminate overlapping and duplication of effort; and to provide

for administrative and budgetary controls within this organizational structure. It is also the intent of the legislature to provide for an orderly transfer of powers,

duties and functions of the various state agencies to such departments with a minimum

of disruption of governmental services and functions and with a minimum expense;

and to this end, the governor shall begin immediately making such studies and preparations

and taking such actions as are necessary to implement the provisions of all reorganization

legislation enacted by the first session of the thirty-third legislature.
