Regulatory responsibilities and accreditation - Responsibilities of regional authorities - Transfer of functions, duties, and powers of regional authority

244: Transfer of functions, duties, and powers of regional authority

You could also call this:

“A regional authority can give some of its jobs and responsibilities to another regional authority, but it can't give away its power to do this.”

A regional authority can give some of its jobs, responsibilities, or abilities under this Act to another regional authority. This means they can share what they need to do or what they’re allowed to do with another regional authority. However, there’s one thing they can’t give away: the power to transfer these things. That special ability to share jobs stays with the original regional authority.
