Committee to make recommendations to the Governor and General Assembly by July 2008

Governor Sonny Perdue signed an executive order today creating a commission that will make recommendations on restructuring the Georgia Department of Human Resources (DHR). The commission will make its recommendations in a report to the Governor and the General Assembly by July 2, 2008.

“We must ensure that we are not just getting the best possible value for our investment in DHR – but that we are also providing the best possible service for the people of Georgia,” said Governor Sonny Perdue. “That’s why today I have signed an executive order creating a commission to make recommendations on restructuring DHR, to make sure Georgians receive the most efficient service at the least cost to taxpayers.”

The commission will recommend a plan to restructure DHR. Such a recommendation may include combining, consolidating or separating divisions within DHR as well as the Department of Community Health (DCH) and the State Personnel Administration (SPA).
