15XH  State or Territory authorisations of the acquisition or use of assumed identities

 (1) An authorising person of a State or Territory participating agency may, if satisfied that it is appropriate to do so, authorise a person (other than a foreign officer) to do either or both of the following:
 (a) acquire evidence of an assumed identity from any Commonwealth agency;
 (b) use the assumed identity.

Note: Only a Commonwealth participating agency can authorise a foreign officer to acquire evidence of, or use, an assumed identity: see subsection 15XG(3).

 (2) However, the authorising person may only authorise the use of the assumed identity in a foreign country if he or she is satisfied that it is reasonably necessary to do so.
