Abstract

In 1967, the General Assembly passed legislation which created the present Department of Social Services, combining the Board of Social Welfare, Board of Control and Board of Parole, thereby establishing the "umbrella agency", the Department of Social Services. The legislation facilitated greater administrative efficiency by providing for one administrative head, with authority to organize the agencies by functional divisions, which allowed closer coordination of services with avoidance of duplication of effort.
