In November 1973, the Organization Act of DGBAS was revised and came into force. It was again revised in May 1983. In line with Executive Yuan restructuring policy, DBGAS was reorganized in February 2012. The functions of its departments were reviewed and the Electronic Data Processing Center was merged into DGBAS.
