C HAPTER 6 Executive Departments Two men seated on water wheel at Maramec Iron Works, 1911 Gill Photograph Collection Government exists to serve, and a broad net- work of government organizations has been cre- ated to accomplish the purpose. The Missouri Constitution (Article II, Section 1) states: cThe powers of government shall be divided into three distinct departments 4the legislative, exec- utive and judicial. d This section also prohibits persons within each branch from exercising powers of the other branches. From these three branches spring the variety of organizations which deliver services of state government.

The many different names used by these groups 4departments, divisions, agencies, boards, commissions, bureaus, units, sections, programs and others 4can make it difficult to determine which area of government is respon- sible for certain services, and sorting out respon- sibilities or relationships within the governmen- tal framework. It is through the executive branch that the greatest proportion of state services are deliv- ered. The Constitution (Article IV, Section 12) and the Reorganization Act of 1974 have estab- lished a number of cexecutive departments d to deal with specific areas of interest.

A chart show- ing the present state departments is shown on the following page. OFFICIAL MANUAL ... more. less.

342 Executive Departments The Missouri Constitution provides for 16 specific departments: the Office of Administra- tion and the departments of Agriculture, Conser- vation, Corrections, Economic Development, Elementary and Secondary Education, Health and Senior Services, Higher Education, Insur- ance, Financial Institutions and Professional Registration, Labor and Industrial Relations, Mental Health, Natural Resources, Public Safety, Revenue, Social Services and Transportation. Within each executive department exists a variety of offices of varying size and scope which deal with specific services. Traditionally, cdivisions d are the next-largest organizations within departments and function to bring togeth- er smaller-sized groups, such as cbureaus, d csec- tions d or cunits. d Divisions may be governed by a cboard d or ccommission d composed of mem- bers who are either appointed by the governor, made members by law or appointed by a depart- ment official. State agencies may administer cer- tain sections of state law as defined by the Revised Statutes of Missouri , may develop their own rules and regulations as promulgated in the Missouri Register and Code of State Regulations or may institute programs and policies which address the needs of their areas of service. Generally speaking, the legislative and judi- cial branches rely on committees or other small, appointed groups to perform research, develop policy, provide advocacy services or handle administrative duties. In these two branches services are delivered through the offices of the elected officials themselves and not by related agencies.

The first was adopted in 1820 and was presented to Con- gress before Missouri was allowed to enter the union of states. The state 9s second Constitution, born in the bitterness and strife of the Civil War, was drafted and adopted in 1865. It was replaced by a third Constitution only ten years later, in 1875. Missourians approved their cur- rent Constitution in 1945, and it has been amended a number of times in order to meet the changing needs of our state and its people. The Constitution of the State of Missouri is published by the Office of Secretary of State pursuant to the Revised Statutes of Missouri (RSMo 2.110). Copies of the Missouri Constitu- tion, which also includes the text of the U.S. Constitution, are available without charge by contacting: Secretary of State Robin Carnahan Division of Publications PO Box 1767 Jefferson City, MO 65102 Phone: (573) 751-4218 www.sos.mo.gov/pubs Email: publications@sos.mo.gov EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENTS 343 Department of Agriculture Department of Corrections Department of Elementary & Secondary Education Department of Higher Education Department of Insurance, Financial Institutions & Professional Registration Department of Mental Health Department of Public Safety Department of Social Services Office of Administration Department of Conservation Department of Economic Development Department of Health & Senior Services Department of Transportation Department of Labor & Industrial Relations Department of Natural Resources Department of Revenue Senate * House of Representatives * Lieutenant Governor * Secretary of State * Governor * State Auditor * State Treasurer * Attorney General * Supreme Court Executive Branch Legislative Branch Court of Appeals VOTERS Circuit Courts !

GCD works to make persons with disabili- ties aware of their rights and opportunities; increase employment opportunities for job seek- ers with disabilities; expand access to equal and full participation for all individuals with disabil- ities in their communities at the local, state and federal levels; and change the delivery system for assistive technology devices and services. GCD provides youth leadership programming for young people with disabilities. In 1947, President Harry S. Truman issued an executive order establishing the President 9s Committee on Employment of the Handicapped. This federal agency was created to assist dis- abled World War II veterans with re-entry into the civilian workforce. Following President Tru- man 9s lead, Missouri established the Governor 9s Committee in 1949 after it became obvious that a local network was needed to disseminate infor- mation about work-related problems facing peo- ple with disabilities. In 1988, the names of both the President 9s Committee and the Governor 9s Committee were changed to Committees on Employment of Peo- ple with Disabilities, placing the appropriate emphasis on the individual workers and not their impairments. The mission of GCD has naturally evolved from strictly promoting employment to address- ing all of the barriers to employment and full par- ticipation in community life. To more accurately reflect the mission, the 1994 General Assembly renamed this agency the Governor 9s Council on Disability. GCD was transferred by executive order in 2004 from the Department of Labor and Industrial Relations (DOLIR) to the Office of Administration (OA) to better meet its mission. The GCD consists of 21 council members, including the chair and one member from each state congressional district, as well as the execu- tive director. The majority of GCD is comprised of people with disabilities representing various disability groups. Family members of people with disabilities, persons who represent other disability-related groups and other advocates fill the remaining positions. The governor appoints the chair with the advice and consent of the Senate. The governor also appoints the 21 members-at-large. GCD meets at least quarterly to act as an advisory body to its staff and to discuss and suggest ways to address current issues affecting persons with disabilities in Missouri. In the administration of its duties, GCD also offers assistance to help the various departments, divisions and branches of government to comply with all laws regarding persons with disabilities. To further that goal, the director of each state depart- ment designates at least one employee to act as a liaison with the council. The assistance offered includes educational programming and consulta- tion on the rights of persons with disabilities. Missouri Minority Business Advocacy Commission State Capitol, Room 125 Telephone: (573) 751-1851 / FAX: (573) 751-1212 The Missouri Minority Business Advocacy Commission (MBAC) identifies and assesses the needs of minority businesses throughout the state; initiates aggressive programs to assist minority businesses in obtaining state and feder- al procurement; makes recommendations regarding state policies, programs and proce- dures; and provides a focal point to assist and counsel minority small businesses in their deal- ing with federal, state and local governments. MBAC also initiates and encourages minority business education programs, analyzes current legislation and regulations as they affect minority businesses; and receives complaints and recom- mendations concerning policies and activities of federal, state and local governmental agencies which affect minority small businesses. The pur- pose of MBAC is to increase economic opportu- nity for minority businesses so that we can improve the overall climate of the state of Mis- souri; and to develop and establish the inclu- sionary process for state departments so that they can meet or exceed the goals and objectives of the legislation and executive order designed to LINDA BAKER Executive Director, Governor 9s Council on Disability EXECUTIVE DEPARTMENTS 4 OFFICE OF ADMINISTRATION 351 increase minority participation in state procure- ment.
