Commentary Part 1: Local Government Chapter 3: Other Authorities
31.This chapter provides Integrated Transport Authorities, Passenger Transport Executives, economic prosperity boards and combined authorities with broad general powers to do things related to their functions, similar to the powers provided to Fire and Rescue Authorities by Chapter 2 of this Part. The general powers replace their existing incidental powers (except in the case of Passenger Transport Authorities) and allow them to do things beyond their geographic boundaries.
