Valuers Bill

Regulation of public valuers - Disciplinary powers of Board

45B: Board may delegate disciplinary powers to committee

You could also call this:

"The Board can give some jobs to a smaller group to help make decisions."

Illustration for Valuers Bill

The Board can give some of its jobs to a smaller group called a committee. You need to know that this committee must have at least two Board members and one other person. The Board decides who is on the committee. The committee can do its jobs in the same way as the Board. You are part of this process when you understand that the committee has the same powers as the Board. The committee must follow the same rules as the Board. If someone asks, the committee must show it has the power to do its job. You should see that the committee is responsible for its actions. The Board is still in charge and responsible for what the committee does. The Board can take back the jobs it gave to the committee at any time. You can understand that the committee can decide how it wants to work, unless the Board says otherwise. This is how the Board and committee work together.
