155: Review of associated persons by Secretary

You could also call this:

"The Secretary checks if someone is still suitable to work with a casino"

The Secretary can check again if a person is suitable to be an associated person. When the Secretary does this, they follow the same rules as when they first checked the person, which are in section 149. The Secretary can stop a person from being an associated person if they think the person is not suitable, based on the rules in section 124. If the Secretary stops a person from being an associated person, they must tell that person and the casino licence holders the person is associated with.
