In January 2025, Governor Moore launched a government modernization initiative to save taxpayers money and promote smarter, more effective government operations. The Governor signed Executive Order 01.01.2025.08​ directing all state agencies to work in partnership with the Governor’s Office of Performance Improvement to review data to find operational cost savings, streamline operations, and eliminate redundancies to better serve taxpayers.

Since taking office, the Moore-Miller Administration has employed a data-driven, heart-led approach to examine agency day-to-day operations and deliver results for Marylanders – and this executive order formally codifies the approach. The order also prioritizes government modernization efforts, which will initially focus on mission-support functions within state agencies including procurement, information technology, real estate, and fleet management.
