    21-G:2 Declaration of Findings. –||The general court finds that:||I. The state constitution provides for the separation of powers within state government among the legislative, the executive and the judicial branches. The legislative branch has the broad objective and responsibility to determine policies and programs and to review and oversee program performance and implementation of policy previously established. The executive branch has the responsibility to implement and administer these policies and programs. The judicial branch has the responsibility to resolve disputes arising from the interpretation or application of the laws;||II. The growth of the executive branch from 32 constitutional offices and state agencies in 1900, to 96 in 1970, to more than 140 in 1983, has created an unwieldy and confusing state government structure. This structure has developed piecemeal, resulting in lack of policy coordination, excessive costs, inefficient use of personnel and capital, overlapping agency jurisdictions, duplication, and the ineffective use of the state's limited financial resources; and||III. The size and complexity of the executive branch, including the unnecessarily confusing current array of administrative terms, titles, and appointment processes, has unintentionally altered some of the constitutionally contemplated checks and balances by an unplanned shifting of policy direction and implementation toward the independent, non-elected executive branch agencies. This reduces the ability of the legislature to assert its primary role as policymaker and the ability of the governor to manage the implementation of that policy.||IV. The various scopes in the mission of the executive branch departments, agencies, and commissions require a delineation of their organization within the executive branch.|||Source. 1983, 372:1, eff.

    21-G:3 Declaration of Policy. –||The general court declares the following to be the policy and objectives of the state:||I. The organization of state government should assure its responsiveness to popular control, as expressed through the state's elected officials. It is the goal of reorganization to improve legislative policymaking capability and to improve the administrative capability of the executive to carry out these policies.||II. The organization of state government should facilitate communication between citizens and government. It is the goal of reorganization through coordination of related programs in function-oriented departments to improve public understanding of government programs and policies, by more clearly defining the jurisdiction of departments, and to improve the relationships between citizens and administrative agencies.||III. The organization of state government should assure efficient, effective and responsive administration of the policies established by the legislature. It is the goal of reorganization to improve the coordination and management of state services by establishing clear lines of authority, responsibility and accountability for program implementation within the executive branch.||IV. The governor should meet regularly with the heads of all agencies. Communication and exchange of information and ideas among the agency heads, as well as between agency heads and the governor, should be the goal of these meetings.|||Source. 1983, 372:1, eff.

In order to allow the chief executive to efficiently and effectively implement legislative policy and programs, the governor should be provided with a manageable administrative structure and the authority to direct its operations.||II. The large number of existing executive branch agencies, departments, boards, commissions, authorities and institutions should be significantly reduced by consolidating them into a reasonable number of departments.||III. The consolidation of agencies in the executive branch should be on a functional basis, so that programs can be coordinated and comprehensive planning can be undertaken.||IV. Structural reorganization should be a continuing process through careful executive and legislative appraisal of the placement of proposed new programs, and the coordination of existing programs, in response to changing public needs.||V. There should be a uniform process for administrative appeals to an impartial body provided for each department established following July 1, 1983.|||Source. 1983, 372:1, eff. July 1, 1983.|
