#### 130A APVMA may retain documents and things
(1) If a document or thing is produced to the APVMA in accordance with a notice served under section 130, the APVMA:
(a) may take possession of, and may make copies of, the document or thing, or take extracts from the document; and
(b) may retain possession of the document or thing for such period as is necessary:
(i) for the purposes of this Code; or
(ii) for the purposes of an investigation to which the document or thing relates; or
(iii) to enable evidence to be secured for the purposes of a prosecution or proceedings for a civil penalty order.
(2) While the APVMA retains the document or thing, it must allow a person who would otherwise be entitled to inspect the document or view the thing to do so at the times that the person would ordinarily be able to do so.
