Administrative matters - Accreditation of requestors

106: Notice of decision

You could also call this:

“The boss must tell you if they agree or disagree with your request”

The proposed law says that when you apply for something, the person in charge (called the chief executive) must tell you their decision. They have to let you know if they say yes or no to what you asked for.

If the chief executive says no to some or all of what you asked for, or if they put limits on what you can do that are stricter than what you wanted, they have to explain why they made that decision.

If the chief executive says yes to some or all of what you asked for, they need to give you some extra information. They must tell you the name of the rules that let them say yes to your request. They also have to tell you what kind of approval they’re giving you.
