Present Constitution provides that except for the offices of governor and lieutenant governor, the executive branch and their functions, powers, duties and responsibilities shall be allocated according to function within no more than twenty departments.

Proposed Constitutional Amendment increases the maximum number of departments in the executive branch to twenty-one, except that no department may be created that has the powers, duties and functions to perform or administer programs or services which are historically performed or administered by any other agency, office or department of the state.
