§ 77263 Commission Corporate Powers

Key Takeaways

  • •The commission is like a company—it can sue people or be sued itself.
  • •It can make deals (contracts) with others, just like a business.
  • •If the commission writes something down and stamps it with their official seal, it’s proof that what they wrote is true unless someone proves otherwise.

Example

The commission signs a contract to buy office supplies from a store.

Because the commission can make contracts like a company, this deal is legal and binding. If the store doesn’t deliver the supplies, the commission can sue them. And if the commission writes down the details of the deal and stamps it, that paper is proof of what was agreed.
