356: Rules to be approved by Board
or “The group in charge must say yes or no to new rules made by the boss”

You could also call this:

“How to fix and resubmit rules that weren't approved”

When the Board doesn’t approve a proposed rule, they have to tell you why they didn’t approve it. They will then ask the chief executive to make a new version of the rule. The chief executive has to give the Board the new version within 15 working days. Sometimes, the Board might give the chief executive more time to do this.
