F1PART 3ACIVIC LICENSING STANDARDS OFFICERS
45GCivic licensing standards officers
1
Each local authority must appoint for their area one or more officers (a “civic licensing standards officer”)—
a
to exercise, in relation to the authority's area, the general functions conferred on civic licensing standards officers by virtue of section 45H, and
b
to exercise any other functions that may be conferred on such an officer by virtue of this or any other enactment.
2
A civic licensing standards officer appointed by a local authority is taken to be an authorised officer of the authority for the purposes of Parts 1 to 3.
3
A person may hold more than one appointment under subsection (1) (so as to be a civic licensing standards officer for more than one local authority area).
4
Nothing in this section prevents an officer of a local authority other than a civic licensing standards officer from being an authorised officer of the authority for a purpose of Parts 1 to 3.
5
In this Part, a reference to a local authority includes a reference to that authority acting as the licensing authority for their area and a reference to an authorised officer of a local authority (however expressed) is to be construed accordingly.
