MISSISSIPPI CODE OF 1972
As Amended

SEC. 27-5-151. Purpose.

The Legislature hereby declares its intent and purpose to achieve a greater degree of economy and efficiency in the government of this state. Achievement of this end is essential to counter the accelerating rate of the cost and complexity of government, as well as to meet the continuing demand for services. By abolishing a multi-faceted governmental department, and thereupon transferring by function all of the duties and responsibilities of that department to existing agencies which can ably assume those duties and responsibilities, the intent and purpose of the legislature will be implemented.
