## How AI may be used

AI may record the date the request was received and whether the by-law is prohibitive, permissive or absent. It must not approve or refuse the animal.

**AI may:**

- Enter the date the written request was received and the 21-day and 6-week dates
- Note whether the community management statement contains an animal by-law, and quote it
- List conditions already written in the by-law

**AI must not:**

- Must not decide to approve or refuse the animal
- Must not decide that a by-law is invalid
- Must not draft the reasons for refusal or a statement about the animal's behaviour

**The lawyer checks:**

- The by-law is read from the community management statement before a path is chosen
- A guide, hearing or assistance dog is not put through the approval request
- Deemed approval is applied only on the periods the page states
