Letter urging the Legislature to allow to go into effect Reorganization Plan No. 1 of 1975

For this study, the Commission reviewed the Governor's Reorganization Plan No. 1 of 1975, which proposed creating a new Environmental Quality Agency and consolidating all air, water quality and solid waste programs into the new agency.

State law establishes that all Governors' reorganization plans must be submitted to the Commission for review at least 30 days prior to submitting it to the Legislature for its consideration. Following its review and one or more public hearings on the proposal, the Commission offers a recommendation on whether the Legislature should allow the plan to go into effect.
