105: Delegation of cost-recovery function by Minister

You could also call this:

“Minister can let EPA handle money matters, but can still do it themselves”

The Minister can give the EPA the power to do something about cost recovery. This power comes from section 104(2)(b) of the law. The Minister needs to write this down to make it official.

If the Minister gives this power to the EPA, they can still change their mind later. But if they do change their mind, they need to tell the EPA in writing. Even if the Minister gives this power to the EPA, the Minister can still do the job themselves if they want to.
