Art. 27 Government and Administrative Organisation Act (Organisationsgesetz; OrG) - Principles of Organization

1. The cantonal administration is divided into departments and the cantonal chancellery. They may be further subdivided into organizational units, with generally no more than two hierarchical levels to be established.

2. The designation of the organizational unit is irrelevant to its position within the administration. Organizational designations used in laws are not binding and may be changed by regulation.

3. Each department has a departmental secretariat.
