EXPLANATORY NOTE
(This note is not part of the Order)

This Order extends the period of time for an electronic monitoring pilot to run by extending the end date of the specified period of the pilot from 13th October 2017 to 30th June 2018. It does so by amending the Crime and Courts Act 2013 (Commencement No. 15, Transitional and Savings Provisions) Order 2016 (S.I. 2016/962) (the “2016 Order”).

The 2016 Order brings into force section 44 (dealing non-custodially with offenders), so far as relating to Part 4 of Schedule 16 to the Crime and Courts Act 2013 (c. 22) (“the 2013 Act”). Part 4 of the 2013 Act amends the Criminal Justice Act 2003 (c. 44). In particular, the 2013 Act amended the definition of “electronic monitoring requirements” which can be imposed as part of a community order or suspended sentence order. Section 61 of the 2013 Act provides that section 44 of, and Part 4 of Schedule 16 to, the 2013 Act can be brought into force for specified periods in specified areas. This Order extends the period of time for which section 44, so far as relating to Part 4 of Schedule 16 is in force, in the specified areas.

A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant impact on the private, voluntary or public sectors is foreseen.
