Which executive order redirected the functions and operations of the Department of Health in 1999?

• A. EO 102 s. 1999
• B. EO 101 s. 1998
• C. EO 103 s. 2000
• D. EO 99 s. 1997

Answer: (A)

Executive orders can reorganize government agencies by redirecting their functions and operations. In 1999, the directive that specifically redirected the Department of Health’s functions and operations is the order issued as Executive Order No. 102 in that year. The other options point to different years (1998, 2000, 1997) and would not be the order enacted in 1999, so they don’t fit the scenario. The exact combination of the number and year identifies the specific reorganization action, and here that combination matches the 1999 redistribution of duties for the Department of Health.
