§ 73118 Commission Corporate Powers Authority

Key Takeaways

  • •The commission is like its own company—it can make deals, sue people, or be sued.
  • •It can create an official stamp (seal) for important papers.
  • •If the commission writes something down and signs it, courts will usually believe it’s true.

Example

The commission signs a contract to buy new computers for its office.

Because the commission acts like a company, it can make this deal. If someone later says the contract isn’t real, the commission can show its signed records in court, and the judge will likely trust them.
