The Governor may make changes in the organization of the
Executive Branch of the State Government, including the establishment
or abolition of departments, offices, agencies, and instrumentalities,
and the reallocation or reassignment of functions, powers, and duties
among the departments, offices, agencies, and instrumentalities of the
Executive Branch. Where these changes are inconsistent with existing
law, or create new governmental programs they shall be set forth in
executive orders in statutory form which shall be submitted to the
General Assembly within the first ten days of a regular session. An
executive order that has been submitted shall become effective and have
the force of law on the date designated in the Order unless
specifically disapproved, within fifty days after submission, by a
resolution of disapproval concurred in by a majority vote of all
members of either House of the General Assembly. No executive order
reorganizing the Executive Branch shall abolish any office established
by this Constitution or shall change the powers and duties delegated to
particular officers or departments by this Constitution.
