### sec.173NG Commissioner may require exempt licensee to become member of local board
This section applies if the commissioner is satisfied an exempt licensee of licensed premises located in a safe night precinct should be a member of the local board because—
it is in the public interest; or
it is necessary to ensure the safety of the community in, or the amenity of, the precinct.
The commissioner may, by written notice, require the exempt licensee to be a member of the local board.
The exempt licensee must be a member of the local board.
Maximum penalty—25 penalty units.
However, subsection (3) does not apply to an exempt licensee—
until 28 days after the commissioner gave the licensee the notice under subsection (2) ; or
if the licensee has applied, in a way that complies with the local board’s rules, for membership of the local board and the application has not been decided; or
if the licensee made all reasonable efforts to become a member of the local board and was refused membership; or
if the licensee, who was a member of the local board, made all reasonable efforts to continue to be a member and the licensee’s membership was terminated; or
if the commissioner has given the licensee a written notice stating that the licensee is no longer required to be a member of the local board.
