Which power cannot be delegated?

Under the PERA Force Laws, certain powers of the Authority are non-delegable, meaning they must be exercised directly by the Authority itself. One of the key non-delegable powers is policy approval. This ensures that strategic decisions, long-term planning, and overarching regulations remain under the direct control of the Authority, maintaining accountability and consistent governance. While powers related to enforcement duties, inspection work, or daily operations can be delegated to the Board, committees, or authorized officers to ensure efficiency, policy approval cannot be delegated. This distinction preserves the Authority’s ultimate responsibility for guiding the organization’s direction and maintaining compliance with statutory objectives, preventing any dilution of strategic decision-making authority.
