When you apply for a manager's certificate, a licensing committee can decide your application. They can also ask the licensing authority to decide your application, but they need to get permission from the chairperson first. The licensing committee must give the licensing authority all the information about your application.

If the licensing authority is deciding your application, they need to get the complete file from the licensing committee. The complete file includes your application and any other papers you filed to support it. It also includes any reports made under section 220.

The licensing committee and the licensing authority work together to decide your application. You need to make sure you give them all the information they need to make a decision. The complete file helps them understand your application and make the right decision.
