The resolution disapproves Executive Order No. 136, which was proposed by the governor of Alaska to establish a new Department of Agriculture. This order aimed to transfer agricultural functions from the existing Department of Natural Resources to the newly created department. According to the Alaska Constitution, the legislature has the authority to disapprove an executive order within 60 days of a regular session, and this resolution serves to exercise that authority.
By passing this resolution, the Alaska State Legislature formally rejects the establishment of the Department of Agriculture as outlined in Executive Order No. 136. The disapproval indicates that the legislature does not support the proposed changes to the management of agricultural functions within the state government.
