### sec.145 Authorised officers appointed by chief executive officer of port authority
On the commencement of this section, a port authorised officer stops being an authorised officer for the purposes of this Act, including for the application of section 74.
A person who, immediately before the commencement, was a port authorised officer must, within 21 days after the commencement, return to the general manager the identity card given to the person under section 74, as in force at any time before the commencement, unless the person has a reasonable excuse.
Maximum penalty—40 penalty units.
Without limiting the court’s power to find an excuse is a reasonable excuse, it is a reasonable excuse if—
for the purposes of section 74 and other purposes, the identity card is a single identity card; and
within 21 days after the commencement—
the person sought a new card in relation to the other purposes and gave written notice to the general manager about the other purposes; but
a new card in relation to the other purposes had not been issued.
The employment relationship between the person and the port authority in relation to which the person was previously appointed as an authorised officer is not affected only because of this section.
