Chapter 30, Laws of Wisconsin 1939, created within the Executive Office the Division of Departmental Research. The principal function of the division was, when directed by the Governor, to investigate irregularities, operating costs, or functions of any state department to determine the feasibility of consolidating, creating, or rearranging departments for the purpose of eliminating unnecessary functions, avoiding duplication, promoting economy, and increasing efficiency.

Chapter 228, Laws of 1959, abolished the Division of Departmental Research and transferred its functions to the Dept. of Administration (see WIHV85-A694).
