Bury went over a season, including the summer break, without passing the fit and proper test and got no sanctions.
Only when they didn't pay wages IIRC did the finally EFL step in.
I personally think the rule should be you can't start a new season without meeting all the tests but it's not, or at least wasn't, the rule last summer.
Macclesfield also got points docked for not fulfilling fixtures

Bury entered a CVA to avoid administration, but it's the same thing under the EFL rules. However they refused to pass the details to the EFL and that's what caused their eventual expulsion.

I agree. But this doesn't help if a group 'takeover' on November 29th say.

But this is only for administration and associated events, including Bury's CVA.
Edit this appears more conclusive
