EXECUTIVE ORDER TO CONSOLIDATE CERTAIN HUMAN RESOURCES,
PERSONNEL, PAYROLL, TIMEKEEPING, PROCUREMENT,
AND FINANCIAL PROCESSES
WHEREAS, numerous State agencies independently perform similar administrative
functions, including human resources, personnel, payroll, timekeeping, procurement, and
financial processes (the “Common Administrative Functions”);
WHEREAS, State agencies charged with executive and regulatory duties perform
Common Administrative Functions, including: the Department of Central Management
Services, the Department of Revenue, and the Department of Financial and Professional
Regulation (the “Executive and Regulatory Affected Agencies”);
WHEREAS, State agencies charged with public safety duties perform Common
Administrative Functions, including: the Department of State Police, the Department of
Corrections, the Department of Juvenile Justice, the Prisoner Review Board, the Law
Enforcement Training and Standards Board, the Illinois Criminal Justice Information
Authority, the Illinois Emergency Management Agency, the Office of the State Fire
Marshal, and the Department of Military Affairs (the “Public Safety Affected Agencies,”
collectively with the Executive and Regulatory Affected Agencies the “Affected
Agencies”);
WHEREAS, State agencies, including the Affected Agencies, employ different standards
and procedures to deliver the Common Administrative Functions, reducing the ability of
all State agencies to share management knowledge and capitalize on synergies and
economies of scale to the ultimate benefit of the taxpayers and all Illinoisans;
WHEREAS, combining Common Administrative Functions would, among other things,
improve the State’s ability to effectively provide services to State agencies, promote
cross-training, improve career development for State employees, improve interactivity of
State operations, and eliminate duplicate functions within State agencies;
WHEREAS, combining Common Administrative Functions facilitates the establishment
of uniform accounting, payroll, and human resource processes with the Illinois Office of
the Comptroller and the Office of the Auditor General;
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 the transfer of functions from one agency
to another.
THEREFORE, I hereby order:
I. TRANSFER OF FUNCTIONS AND CREATION OF NEW DIVISIONS
