The Governor's Committee on State Government Reorganization is developing recommendations to implement a constitutional amendment which, if approved by the people of North Carolina in the November general election, will require the reduction of the number of state agencies to 25 or fewer by 1975.

The amendment states that regulatory quasi-judicial and temporary agencies may, but need not, be allocated within the 25 principal departments. It has been suggested that the majority of the licensing boards be excluded from consideration by the Governor's Committee. Accordingly, the North Carolina Real Estate Licensing Board has been informed that it will not be included in the Committee's reorganization recommendations to the Governor.
