194: Resignation or removal

You could also call this:

"How to leave or be removed from a job on a licensing committee"

If you are a member of a licensing committee or a commissioner, you can resign at any time by giving written notice to your territorial authority. You can do this whenever you want, and you just need to put it in writing. This is how you can leave your job on a licensing committee.

If you are the chairperson of a licensing committee, you will stop being the chairperson if you are no longer a member of the territorial authority. This means you can't be the chairperson if you don't work for the territorial authority anymore. Your job as chairperson is connected to your job at the territorial authority.

Your territorial authority can remove you from a licensing committee if you can't do your job, you go bankrupt, you don't do your work, or you behave badly. The territorial authority has to be satisfied that one of these things has happened before they can remove you. They can do this at any time, and it's their decision.
