Saxony's state administration must reorganize itself for cost reasons. The cabinet has issued so-called review mandates to the individual departments to assess individual measures. This primarily concerns the possible merger of authorities and the bundling of tasks. A catalog for this comprises 63 points. The aim is to make the state capable of acting and eliminate overregulation, explained State Chancellery head Andreas Handschuh.
Question marks behind advisory boards and commissioners
The ministries and the State Chancellery are required to examine whether at least half of all advisory boards in their areas of responsibility can be abolished. The abolition of the commissioners is also up for discussion. The Ministry of the Interior is to examine, among other things, whether the State Office for the Protection of the Constitution can operate as a department of the ministry in future.
