114: Board may delegate power to Plumbers, Gasfitters, and Drainlayers Board to act under this subpart

You could also call this:

“The Board can give some of its jobs to plumbers, gasfitters, and drainlayers”

The Board can give some of its jobs and powers to the Plumbers, Gasfitters, and Drainlayers Board. When the Plumbers, Gasfitters, and Drainlayers Board does these jobs, they have to do them the same way the Board would. If someone asks, the Plumbers, Gasfitters, and Drainlayers Board needs to show that they’re allowed to do these jobs.

The Plumbers, Gasfitters, and Drainlayers Board must follow what the Board tells them to do. They also need to let the Board know if they’ve signed up a new person or given out a licence.

Even though the Board gives some jobs to the Plumbers, Gasfitters, and Drainlayers Board, the Board is still in charge. The Board can still do these jobs if they want to. The Board is also responsible for what the Plumbers, Gasfitters, and Drainlayers Board does. It doesn’t matter if people in either Board change, the agreement to share jobs stays the same.
