Any reorganization plan transmitted by the Governor under this act--
(1) shall change, in cases he deems necessary, the name of any agency affected by a reorganization, and the title of its head; and shall designate the name of any agency resulting from a reorganization and the title of its head;
(2) may include provisions for the appointment and compensation of the head and one or more other officers of any agency (including an agency resulting from a consolidation or other type of reorganization) if the Governor finds, and in his message transmitting the plan declares, that by reason of a reorganization made by the plan such provisions are necessary. The head so provided for may be an individual, or may be a commission or board with two or more members. The term of office of any appointee shall not be fixed at more than four years. The compensation shall not be at a rate in excess of that found by the Governor to prevail in respect of comparable officers in the executive and administrative branch. If the appointment is not under the classified civil service, it shall be by the Governor, by and with the advice and consent of the Senate;
(3) shall make provision for the transfer or other disposition of the records, property, and personnel affected by any reorganization;
(4) shall make provision for the transfer of such unexpended balances of appropriations, and of other funds, available for use in connection with any function or agency affected by a reorganization, as he deems necessary by reason of the reorganization for use in connection with the functions affected by the reorganization, or for the use of the agency which has such functions after the reorganization plan is effective. Unexpended balances so transferred shall be used only for the purposes for which the appropriation was originally made;
(5) shall make provision for terminating the affairs of any agency abolished;
(6) shall enumerate all acts of the General Assembly which may be suspended if the reorganization plan becomes effective.
