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.

120: Museum worker to surrender licence on ceasing work

You could also call this:

"Museum workers must return their licence when they stop working."

If you have a museum worker licence and stop working at the museum on your licence, you must give your licence back to the chief executive. If you do not give your licence back without a good reason, you can commit an offence. You could be fined up to $10,000 if you are convicted.
