Levy proposals may not provide for more than three levy periods.
(2B)Subsection (2A) above is subject to subsections (2C) and (2D) below.
(2C)If the levy order giving effect to levy proposals submitted by an industrial training board would be the first or second levy order giving effect to proposals submitted by the board, the proposals may instead provide for a single levy period that falls within the period of one year starting with the day on which the levy order giving effect to the proposals is made.
