When Governor Laura Kelly introduced her budget to the Legislature in early January, she indicated that she would have two Executive Reorganization orders (ERO). An ERO is a reorganization of departments or agencies made by the Governor that must be approved or disapproved by the legislature. The Governor did have two EROs last legislative session, both of which were disapproved by House of Representatives.
ERO 47 renames the Kansas Department for Children and Families (DCF) and combines it with the Department of Aging and Disability Services (KDADS). The new state agency would be the Department of Human Services (DHS). This ERO is very similar to the ERO that was submitted to the Legislature last year, although, in last year’s ERO it also included the aspects of juvenile justice. However, this year the Governor did not include combining juvenile justice into DHS.
