EXECUTIVE ORDER TO REORGANIZE AGENCIES BY THE TRANSFER OF
CERTAIN FUNCTIONS OF THE DEPARTMENT OF CENTRAL MANAGEMENT
SERVICES TO THE DEPARTMENT OF STATE POLICE
WHEREAS, Article V, Section 11 of the Illinois Constitution authorizes the
Governor to reassign functions or reorganize executive agencies that are directly
responsible to him by means of executive order; and
WHEREAS, Section 3.2 of the Executive Reorganization Implementation Act, 15
ILCS 15/3.2, provides that “Reorganization” includes, in pertinent part (a) the transfer of
the whole or any part of any agency, or of the whole or any part of the functions
thereof, to the jurisdiction and control of any other agency, and (b) the consolidation or
coordination of the whole or any part of any other agency, or of the whole or any part
of the functions thereof, with the whole or any part of any other agency or the functions
thereof; and
WHEREAS, the Department of Central Management Services and the
Department of State Police are executive agencies directly responsible to the Governor
which exercise the rights, powers, duties and responsibilities derived from 20 ILCS 405
et seq. and 20 ILCS 2605 et seq., respectively; and
WHEREAS, streamlining and consolidating the functions of certain of these
agencies into a single agency offers the opportunity to eliminate redundancy, simplify
the organizational structure of the Executive Branch, improve accessibility and
accountability, provide more efficient use of specialized expertise and facilities, realize
savings in administrative costs, promote more effective sharing of best practices and
state of the art technology and realize other cost savings, among other things; and
WHEREAS, the foregoing benefits can be achieved by transferring the law
enforcement and security functions (the “Functions”) of the Department of Central
Management Services (the “Transferring Agency”) to the Department of State Police
(the “Receiving Agency”).
