Reorganization Plan, 1671 (Arizona)

Reorganization Plan, 1671, was an executive order submitted to the Arizona Legislature on January 11, 1671, by Governor Jack Williams, aiming to streamline the Arizona State Government by consolidating the one hundred seventy-six State agencies, commissions, boards, and departments into a smaller number of functional groupings, “if it was clear their activity was needed,” or eliminated “if it was not” (Reorganization Plan, 1671).
