237AA: Chief executive may approve forms

You could also call this:

“The person in charge can create special papers for work rules that aren't already decided by the government.”

The chief executive can create and give out forms that they think are needed for this law. These forms are different from the ones that are set by the rules made under this law.

If a document looks like it’s a form that the chief executive approved and gave out for this law, everyone will believe it is unless the chief executive says it isn’t.
