2. Clarification
(a) Section 2d shall be added to the Open Parliament Act, and shall state: "Journalist, where used within this bill, shall refer to individuals possessing the Journalist role. Individuals must be and remain Journalists while holding a Parliamentary Press License."
(b) Section 2d(i) shall be added to the Open Parliament Act, and shall state: "Brief career changes are not required to be enforced for license removal, but extended changes in profession to another career outside of Journalist may result in the revocation of a Parliamentary Press License. Not being a Journalist during a spot check conducted by the presiding office is grounds for revocation."
