Miscellaneous provisions - Review of operation of Act and related matters by Prostitution Law Review Committee

44: Other provisions on appointment, removal, term, and resignation of members

You could also call this:

"Rules about being chosen, leaving, or staying on the Prostitution Law Review Committee"

When you are appointed as a member, you get a written notice telling you about it, and your nominator also gets a copy. You hold this position for a certain time, up to 5 years, which is stated in the notice. If your time is up, you keep holding the position until you are reappointed or someone else takes your place.

If the Prostitution Law Review Committee stops existing, all members stop holding their positions on that day. You can be reappointed as a member if you want to keep holding the position. If you want to leave the position, you can resign by sending a written notice to the Minister of Justice and your nominator.

The Prostitution Law Review Committee can still make decisions even if there are empty positions that have not been filled yet.
