Administrative History
Legislation of 1921 established a Board of Estimate and Control and directed it to conduct a survey of all state departments, offices, and institutions to determine where waste and duplication of effort existed. The Board was then to recommend improvements to each agency or recommend to the legislature that agencies or functions be consolidated or discontinued.
The legislation also directed that agency budget requests be submitted to the Board for examination and revision; the Board was to file with the legislature annually a recommended budget.
Further 1921 legislation abolished the State Printing Board and assigned all of its functions and duties to the Board of Estimate and Control.
