BID arrangements are not to come into force unless proposals for the arrangements ("BID proposals") are approved by a ballot of the non-domestic ratepayers in the proposed business improvement district who are to be liable for the proposed BID levy.
The Secretary of State may by regulations make provision—
as to the persons who may draw up BID proposals,
as to the procedures to be followed in connection with the drawing up of BID proposals,
as to the matters to be included in BID proposals, and
as to the date which may be provided under BID proposals for the coming into force of BID arrangements which give effect to the proposals.
