Historical Note
In 1919, the General Assembly created this Commission “to investigate and report on a civil administration code.” Five members were appointed, of whom James R. Mead was elected chairman and Frank E. Morgan secretary. The first meeting was held in June 1919. The Commission collected data on state government organization and expenditures, took testimony from government officials and others, held public hearings between April and May 1920, and drafted its final report. The report was agreed upon in September 1920 and the General Assembly received the report in the 1921 session and formed a new joint committee on the matter. Legislators recommitted the bill reported out in May 1921, and the legislation never passed.
