A Review of Governor's Reorganization Plan No. 2 of California Highway Patrol/State Police

For this study, the Commission reviewed the Governor's Reorganization Plan No. 2 of 1995, a proposal that merges the State Police with the California Highway Patrol.

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.
