Dunleavy withdraws Executive Order to reorganize Alaska DHSS Sydney Kurle | Mar 11, 2021 Share this:
The executive order would have restructured the Department of Health and Social Services into two separate departments: the Department of Health and the Department of Family and Community Services. This order has drawn criticism from many groups since it was announced. House Special Concurrent Resolution 1 was the House’s response to the governor’s plan and would have disapproved of the executive order. In the state constitution of Alaska, unless an executive order is disapproved of within 60 days of a regular session, the executive order goes into effect.
