177: Meetings of licensing authority

You could also call this:

"How the licensing authority holds its meetings and makes decisions"

The licensing authority can have meetings whenever and wherever it wants. You need to know that for a meeting to happen, at least 2 members must be there. The chairperson of the licensing authority gets to vote and can also have the final say if the votes are tied.

If the chairperson is at a meeting, they can vote like the other members. They also get a special vote to break a tie, but the deputy chairperson does not get this special vote. The licensing authority makes decisions based on what most members vote for.

The licensing authority follows rules, and you can compare these rules to other laws. The authority makes sure it has enough members at meetings to make decisions. It also makes sure the chairperson has a say in what happens at meetings.
