§ 77936 Commission Corporate Powers

Key Takeaways

  • •The commission is like its own company—it can do things companies do, like make deals or go to court.
  • •If the commission writes something down and says it’s official, people have to believe it’s true unless proven wrong.
  • •It can create its own official stamp (like a signature) for important papers.

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 on its own. If someone later says the contract isn’t real, the commission can show its official records to prove it is.
