Section 4-3-6-5 - Name of agencies; personnel; transfer of records and property; unexpended balances of appropriation; enumerating statutes repealed

Any reorganization plan submitted by the governor under this chapter:

(a) shall change, in cases the governor deems necessary, the name of any agency affected by a reorganization, and the title of its head; and shall designate the name of any agency resulting from a reorganization and the title of its head;

(b) may include provisions for the appointment and compensation of the head and one (1) or more other officers of any agency, including an agency resulting from a consolidation or other type of reorganization, if the governor finds, and in the governor's message submitting the plan declares, that by reason of a reorganization made by the plan the provisions are necessary. The head may be an individual, or may be a commission or board with two (2) or more members. The terms of office of any appointee shall not be fixed at more than four (4) years. The compensation shall not be at a rate in excess of that found by the governor to prevail in respect of comparable officers in the executive and administrative branch;

(c) shall make provisions for the transfer or other disposition of the records, property, and personnel affected by any reorganization;

(d) shall make provision for the transfer of the unexpended balances of appropriations, and of other funds, available for use in connection with any function or agency affected by a reorganization, as the governor deems necessary by reason of the reorganization for use in connection with the functions affected by the reorganization, or for the use of the agency which has the functions after the reorganization plan is effective. Unexpended balances transferred shall be used only for the purposes for which the appropriation was originally made;

(e) shall make provision for terminating the affairs of any agency abolished; and

(f) shall enumerate all statutes which may be repealed if the reorganization plan becomes effective.
