That sentence, in plain words

A covered agency is one with an outside overseer. That overseer may be named by the agency or by a court.

What this is about

A receiver takes charge of a body in trouble. A monitor keeps watch but does not take charge. Either one puts the agency in this group.

How to Read This Page

The quotation is the document's own words, exactly as printed, checked against the page number against the Act itself before publishing. The paragraph underneath is our summary, not the document's words. So is the plain English version, which is why it sits beside the quotation rather than replacing it.
