superagencies
Consolidated government bodies
Superagencies are large governmental bodies that consolidate multiple departments or functions under a single administrative umbrella.
The term typically describes state-level reorganizations that merge related agencies—such as combining health, welfare, and social services into one entity—to streamline bureaucracy and improve coordination: The governor proposed creating a superagency to oversee all environmental regulation.
