Disapproving Executive Order No. 136.
This bill (SSCR 1) formally disapproves Governor's Executive Order No. 136, which proposed creating a new Department of Agriculture by transferring agricultural functions from the Department of Natural Resources. The resolution directly affects the governor's ability to implement this reorganization, as Alaska's constitution requires legislative disapproval within 60 days of a regular session for such orders to be blocked. The key mechanism is the legislature's formal resolution, passed by the Senate (Y32 N28) and approved in a joint session, to prevent the executive order from taking effect. This is a procedural action, not a new policy, and it stops the proposed department restructuring from moving forward.
