The resolution disapproves Executive Order No. 136, which was proposed by the governor of Alaska to establish a new Department of Agriculture. This new department would take over agricultural functions currently managed by the Department of Natural Resources. 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 resolution emphasizes the legislative process and the requirement for majority approval in a joint session to prevent the executive order from taking effect.
