(Columbia) -- A Senate subcommittee handling state government restructuring finished its work today and sent its proposals to the Senate Judiciary Committee for debate.

The committee plans to take up the bills this afternoon.

One measure would let voters decide in November whether to change the state Constitution and eliminate elections for education
superintendent, secretary of state, agriculture commissioner, adjutant general and comptroller general.

The package also would shift or eliminate some state agencies.

The subcommittee proposed that the Department of Health and Environmental Control coordinate with the Secretary of the
Department of Health and Human Services. It also would require both agencies to submit annual reports to the General Assembly on how
the coordination is working.
