9. Where a transferee or the secretary takes possession of the items referred to in section 1, that person shall keep the items for a period of not less than 5 years. Furthermore, the transferee or the secretary shall remit any sums collected as royalties on the plans to the architect, who signed and sealed the plans, or to the architect’s heirs and successors.
During that period, the secretary may transfer the items referred to in section 1 to a transferee, in which case the transferee is bound by the requirements of section 6.
For the purposes of this section, the conservation period begins on the date of the final service rendered by the architect, or, if the project has been completed, on the date of completion of the work.
