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.
If you stop someone from doing their job under this proposed law, you might be in trouble. You could be stopping them on purpose, making it hard for them to do their job, or trying to trick them. If you do any of these things, you could be committing an offence. You could get a fine of up to $3,000 if you are found guilty of this offence. This is what the proposed Offshore Renewable Energy Bill says about people who get in the way of others doing their jobs under this law.
