   Government Unveils Proposed Amendments to Buildings Management Ordinance, Three Authorisation Ticket Proposals Changed to Ongoing Study

   The government unveils proposed amendments to the Buildings Management Ordinance, with 3 proposals originally targeting the authorisation ticket system changed to "ongoing study" after consultation. The proposal to set a cap on authorisation tickets held per person was opposed by more than 50 per cent of respondents, while the proposal to restrict authorised representatives was opposed by nearly 70 per cent. The authorities say they will instead start with spot checks and verification, proposing that property management companies or chairmen of management committees conduct spot checks on 20 per cent of authorisation tickets.
