The Board on Government Operations (BOGO) was created in 1959. Predecessor agencies date back to 1915, when Chapter 609 authorized the governor, Secretary of State, and State Treasurer, acting together, to approve the granting of emergency appropriations to departments with insufficient funds to carry out their normal authorized duties. Chapter 97, Laws of 1929 vested this function in the Emergency Board, while the 1959 law created BOGO and expanded its authority to include investigations to improve state government operations, and making transfers between appropriations.
