Is a public health authority a private entity?
No. A public health authority is not a private entity. It is a public entity that is defined by the law that allows for its creation. As a public entity, it is subject to many of the same laws that apply to county departments, such as public records laws, open meetings laws, and the financial management laws that apply to local government entities. The authority is subject to these laws directly rather than as an agency or arm of the county.
