Who can the Board authorize to prosecute any agency for violations?

The correct answer is that the Board can authorize the Attorney General to prosecute any agency for violations. This authority is typically granted because the Attorney General represents the state and has the legal power to enforce laws and regulations on behalf of the public. The involvement of the Attorney General ensures that prosecutions are conducted with a strong understanding of the law and appropriate resources.

While other individuals like a local District Attorney or a private attorney might handle prosecutions in certain circumstances, they do not have the same broad authority to act on behalf of the state agency as the Attorney General does. Each of these alternatives may have limitations regarding jurisdiction, resources, or legal standing, which further underscores the Attorney General's unique role in upholding the law and representing the state's interests in such matters.
