House Resolution No. 179.
A resolution to support the Governor's efforts to streamline and consolidate state government through the combination of the Department of Natural Resources and the Department of Environmental Quality into one single department.
Whereas, Executive Order No. 2009-45 proposes the creation of the Department of Natural Resources and Environment and details the potential savings and consolidation efforts that will accompany the creation of this new department; and
Whereas, For many years, numerous legislators have supported and called for the combination of the Department of Natural Resources and the Department of Environmental Quality; now, therefore, be it
Resolved by the House of Representatives, That, while the members of this legislative body disapprove of other provisions contained within Executive Order No. 2009-45, we do support the merging of the Department of Natural Resources and the Department of Environmental Quality into one single state department; and be it further
Resolved, That copies of this resolution be transmitted to the Office of the Governor.
