Who can designate another regulatory body as the lead regulator instead of the Authority?

According to the PERA Force Laws, the Government holds the authority to designate another regulatory body as the lead regulator instead of the Authority. This provision ensures flexibility in regulatory oversight and coordination among different statutory bodies operating under various scheduled laws.

In practice, this means that if a particular area of regulation falls under multiple jurisdictions, the Government may assign a specialized body as the lead regulator to avoid duplication, improve enforcement efficiency, and maintain uniform policy direction. This mechanism is vital for ensuring regulatory harmony, especially when laws overlap across different authorities.

By empowering the Government with this designation authority, the PERA Force Laws aim to strengthen governance structures and streamline enforcement. It also supports accountability, as the Government can choose the most suitable body based on expertise, jurisdictional relevance, and capacity. Thus, under this legal framework, the Government acts as the central decision-maker, ensuring proper coordination and effective regulation within the PERA system.
