The bill, briefly

Reorganization Act Amendments of 1982 - Amends the Reorganization Act of 1977 to extend the authority of the President to reorganize the executive branch. Revises the procedure for the congressional veto of a reorganization plan. Declares that such a plan shall be effective only if: (1) both Houses of Congress adopt a joint resolution approving the plan within 90 days of continuous session of Congress after the plan is transmitted to Congress; and (Under the Reorganization Act of 1977, reorganization plan became effective if neither House passed a resolution disapproving it within 60 days.) Lengthens the period during which the President may amend or withdraw a reorganization plan submitted to Congress, and the period by which the Committee on Government Operations of the House or the Committee on Governmental Affairs of the Senate must report a resolution approving the plan or be discharged from consideration thereof. Directs the President to include with each reorganization plan transmitted to Congress, a draft of any executive order, presidential directive, or other administrative action likely to be required in such reorganization. States that a reorganization plan may not rename an existing Executive department or create an independent agency.
