Heading: Reorganization

Text: The legislature did not supply a definition of reorganization. Although reorganization typically refers to a reduction in force, the provision at issue in this case includes reference to a reorganization that has a fiscal impact on the state budget. [6] The implementation of the statewide job evaluation system study recommended the restructuring of every position statewide. Given the magnitude of the implementation of the study and the fiscal impact it had on the state budget, we conclude that the study constituted a reorganization that required Governor approval and submission to the General Assembly prior to its implementation. See Colorado Common Cause v. Meyer, 758 P.2d 153, 160 (Colo.1988)(stating that a court may consider the consequences of a particular construction when attempting to effectuate the purpose of a statute). 1.
