AGENCY: Governor (2021- : Cox)

SERIES: 30002
TITLE: Executive orders
DATES: 2009-2021.
ARRANGEMENT: Chronological.

DESCRIPTION: These records are official copies of executive orders and proclamations issued by Governor Herbert from 2009 to 2020.

Executive orders afford a method for reacting to and preparing a plan of action for sudden problems or changing events which require the Governor's prompt attention. Their issuance provides an established conventional means of responding to these events. Through the executive order, the Governor also creates mechanisms to implement the regulations and establish organizations to perform activities of the government in some specific way.

In contrast to executive orders, proclamations are more broad statements of position. They provide a formal means to report to the general public that the Governor has responded to an event in a specific manner. Frequently, proclamations are issued to pay tribute or to express formal observance of holidays or other noteworthy occasions.
