New York (State). Executive Dept.

The Executive Department resulted from the constitutional reorganization of State government in 1925. Prior to reorganization, the executive branch of the government had grown to include nearly 200 administrative departments, boards, and commissions. Constitutional amendments in 1925 and 1927 abolished or significantly consolidated these offices and expanded the power of the executive office. In 1925 an amendment provided for the consolidation of all administrative agencies into not more than twenty State departments, including an Executive Department.

Legislation of 1926 (Chapter 546) provided statutory basis for the Executive Department, directing it to assist and carry out duties assigned by the governor. Five divisions were established within the department and their functions and duties defined: Budget, Military and Naval Affairs, Standards and Purchase, State Police, and Inter-Departmental Relations. The governor was empowered to establish, consolidate, or abolish Executive Department divisions as deemed necessary.
