§ 79170 Commission Rulemaking Authority

Key Takeaways

  • •A group (called 'the commission') can make and change rules to do their job.
  • •They can also decide how people can complain or ask them to change a rule.
  • •These rules help them do what they're supposed to do.

Example

Imagine a school club that makes rules for how to run a bake sale.

The club can make rules like 'no nuts in cookies' and also decide how kids can complain if they don’t like a rule. The commission works the same way but for bigger, grown-up stuff.
