(a) The Director of the Division of Environmental Quality, with the advice and consent of the Secretary of the Department of Energy and Environment, may establish any number of divisions, offices, or units for the conduct of environmental affairs of the state and may prescribe the functions and duties of each division, office, or unit.

(b) Provided, however, that:

(1) All functions and duties prescribed by a grant agreement with an entity of the United States Government shall be maintained for the duration of the grant agreement;

(2)(A) This section does not limit any provision of state law directing or requiring the Division of Environmental Quality to carry out any function or provide any service.

(B) However, nothing in this section shall be construed to prevent the reassignment of functions or services assigned by state law where reassignment does not alter the obligation of the Division of Environmental Quality to continue providing such function or service;

(3) Such reorganization shall be based on a comprehensive analysis of all of the functions and duties administered by the Division of Environmental Quality and the development of a ten-year strategic plan of Division of Environmental Quality operations; and

(4) The conduct of such comprehensive analysis and the development of a strategic plan shall be financed by an appropriation or authorization of the General Assembly for these specific purposes.
