188: Transitional provisions relating to inspectors

You could also call this:

"Rules for inspectors when the Animal Welfare Act 1999 started"

When the Animal Welfare Act 1999 started, you might have been an inspector under a different law called the Animals Protection Act 1960. If you were an inspector under section 9(1) of that law, you became an inspector under the new law until you die, resign, or the Director-General revokes your appointment. You keep being an inspector until one of those things happens.

If you were an inspector under section 9(2) of the Animals Protection Act 1960, you are considered an inspector under the new law for the rest of your term. Your term ends when it is supposed to, unless you die, resign, or get removed from office under section 124(6)(b) or your appointment gets revoked under section 124(7).

You stay an inspector until the end of your term or until something else happens to end your appointment.
