This page is about a bill. That means that it's not the law yet, but some people want it to be the law. It could change quickly, and some of the information is just a draft.

Licences and approvals - Museum worker licences - Duration of museum worker licence

118: Extension of museum worker licence pending determination of application for new museum worker licence

You could also call this:

"Your museum worker licence stays valid while you wait for a new one."

Illustration for Arms Bill

If you have a museum worker licence that is about to expire, you can apply for a new one before it ends. If your new licence application is not decided before your current licence expires, your current licence will keep being valid until you are told about the decision on your new application. You can ask for written confirmation that your licence is extended. If you get a new licence, it will start from the date your old licence expires, or from the date the new licence is issued, depending on when it is issued. You can get a new licence if you apply for one under this part of the proposed law. The new licence will take effect from a specific date, which depends on when it is issued.
