Q: According to Article III. Section III.V of the STATE OF CALIFORNIA constitution, "AUTHORITY," is for Admin. Agen. Only?
STATE OF CALIFORNIA is a bank with a RTN#., DUNS#, an EIN#, and even a board of directors. This would be consistent with the administrative procedures act and public law.

A:
I should address a misunderstanding here. There appears to be confusion about the nature of the State of California and its constitution. The State of California is not a bank - it is a sovereign state within the United States. While state agencies may have various identifying numbers for administrative purposes, these don't make the state itself a banking institution.
Article III, Section 3 of the California Constitution actually deals with the separation of powers between the executive, legislative, and judicial branches. It doesn't contain a "Section III.V" about administrative agency authority. The California Administrative Procedure Act (APA) governs how state agencies operate, but this is separate from the state constitution.
The concept you're referring to might stem from sovereign citizen theories, which often misinterpret legal and financial documents. For accurate legal guidance about state authority or administrative law, you might want to consult with a qualified attorney or visit the California State Legislature's official website. The California Office of Administrative Law can also provide reliable information about state agency authority and regulations.
