Chapter 2: Other Provision Combined authorities New section 104D: Review of combined authority’s constitutional arrangements Effect
Subsection (1) sets out that section 104D applies if the Secretary of State has made an order under section 104 for a combined authority to make provision about its constitution.
	Subsection (2) provides for an appropriate person to carry out a review of the combined authority’s local constitutions if this is proposed by an appropriate person, and the combined authority agrees to the review.
	Subsection (3) sets out that the appropriate person undertaking the review may propose changes to the constitutional arrangements of a combined authority which must be agreed by the combined authority for them to come into effect.
	Subsections (4) and (6) provide for the "consent" of the combined agreement to the proposal for a review and for adopting any changes proposed. A simple majority of combined authority voting members present at the meeting at which these matters are discussed must consent for a review to take place and for changes to be made to the local constitution.
	Subsection (5) sets out the simple majority provisions in 104D(4) for mayoral combined authorities. The simple majority of the combined authority in favour of carrying out a review following its proposals by an appropriate person does not need to include the agreement of the mayor. For the changes proposed as a result of a review to be adopted, simple majority of the combined authority in favour of the changes must include the vote of the mayor.
	Subsection (7) provides that the arrangements in this section take precedence over any arrangements made in any order made before this section came into force or anything in a combined authority’s local constitution.
	Subsection (8) defines an ‘appropriate person’ the purposes of this section.
