sec.69 Other decisions
If, after holding a conference about an agency notice, the commission does not enter into a family responsibilities agreement with the person the subject of the conference, the commission may decide— to take no further action in relation to the notice; or to do 1 or more of the following, if the commission is satisfied the person is a community member— reprimand the person; recommend that the person attend an appropriate community support service; direct the person to attend an appropriate community support service under a case plan for not more than 1 year; give the secretary a notice requiring that the person be subject to income management for at least 3 months but not more than 1 year. Before making a decision mentioned in subsection (1) (b) (iv) , the commission must consider whether it is more appropriate in all the circumstances merely to direct the person to attend an appropriate community support service under a case plan. Also, if the commission is constituted under section 50A , a decision mentioned in subsection (1) (b) (iv) may only require the person to be subject to income management if— the requirement has first been endorsed by the commissioner; or See section 64 (2) which provides for the conference to be adjourned to obtain the commissioner’s endorsement. if, after considering the requirement and each constituting member’s reasons for the decision or not agreeing with the decision, the commissioner does not endorse it—the requirement is affirmed by the commission as constituted under section 53A (3) or (4) . If the commission makes a decision under this section, the commission must take the reasonable and appropriate steps to ensure the person fully understands the decision. s 69 amd 2011 No. 35 s 6 ; 2013 No. 48 s 2E ; 2015 No. 30 s 2 sch 1 (sec.69-ssec.1) If, after holding a conference about an agency notice, the commission does not enter into a family responsibilities agreement with the person the subject of the conference, the commission may decide— to take no further action in relation to the notice; or to do 1 or more of the following, if the commission is satisfied the person is a community member— reprimand the person; recommend that the person attend an appropriate community support service; direct the person to attend an appropriate community support service under a case plan for not more than 1 year; give the secretary a notice requiring that the person be subject to income management for at least 3 months but not more than 1 year.
