This Order makes amendments to the Police, Public Order and Criminal Justice (Scotland) Act 2006 (“the 2006 Act”) and, in consequence of two of the amendments, to the Police Act 1996.
Article 2(2) modifies section 17(1)(b) of the 2006 Act to refer to the bodies mentioned in section 2(3)(b) to (p) of the 2006 Act, rather than to those mentioned in section 17(b) to (q).
Article 2(3) concerns new section 60A of the Police Act 1996. Article 2(3)(a) corrects a reference in that section to regulations made under section 23(2)(a) of the Police, Public Order and Criminal Justice (Scotland) Act 2006, to refer to regulations made under section 23(2)(g).
Article 2(3)(b) corrects the reference in section 60A to section 60(3) of the Police Act 1996. It should refer to section 60(2)(e).
