55FCommencement, expiry and extension of medically supervised injecting centre licence

55F Commencement, expiry and extension of medically supervised injecting centre licence S. 55F(1) amended by No. 7/2023 s. 19(5). (1) A medically supervised injecting centre licence— (a) commences on a day specified in the licence; and (b) remains in force until a day specified in the licence unless it is sooner— (i) surrendered by the licensee; or (ii) revoked by the Secretary. S. 55F(1A) inserted by No. 7/2023 s. 10. (1A) Without limiting subsection (1)(a), the day specified under that provision may be the same as the day that is specified under section 55G(3)(b) as the day on which another medically supervised injecting centre licence that is already in force is to be revoked. S. 55F(1B) inserted by No. 7/2023 s. 10. (1B) If a day is specified under subsection (1)(a) as described in subsection (1A), the medically supervised injecting centre licence in which that day is specified commences immediately after the revocation of the other licence referred to in subsection (1A). A medically supervised injecting centre licence revoked under section 55J(1) is revoked on the first moment of the day specified in the instrument of revocation—see section 55J(2). S. 55F(2) amended by No. 7/2023 s. 7(2). (2) The day specified under subsection (1)(b) must not be more than 4 years after the day specified under subsection (1)(a). S. 55F(3) amended by No. 7/2023 ss 7(3), 19(6). (3) If satisfied that extending the period of a medically supervised injecting centre licence would further the object of this Part, the Secretary may do so by amending the licence to specify a new day as the day until which the licence will remain in force unless sooner surrendered or revoked. S. 55F(3A) inserted by No. 7/2023 s. 7(4). (3A) A day specified under subsection (3) must not be more than 4 years after the day previously specified in the licence as the day until which the licence will remain in force unless sooner surrendered or revoked. S. 55F(4) amended by No. 7/2023 s. 7(5). (4) The period may be extended under subsection (3) more than once. S. 55F(5) substituted by No. 7/2023 s. 17. (5) The purported surrender of a medically supervised injecting centre licence has no effect. The Secretary may revoke a medically supervised injecting centre licence on a request made by the licensee—see section 55J(1)(b). S. 55G inserted by No. 66/2017 s. 7.
