§ 21173 Delegation Of Contracting Authority

• •The boss of a government group can give some of their jobs to someone who works under them.
• •The boss can set rules for how the worker does these jobs.
• •This has been the rule since 1996.

The principal of a school gives the vice principal the job of deciding which teachers get new computers.
