1999 No 693

Fines Amendment (Former New South Wales

Legislation) Regulation 1999

under the

Fines Act 1996

His Excellency the Governor, with the advice of the Executive Council, has made the following Regulation under the Fines Act 1996.

J. W. SHAW, Q.C., M.L.C.,

Attorney General

Explanatory note

The Fines Act 1996 centralised the system for the enforcement of fines. The system of enforcement set up under that Act generally applies in respect of any fine imposed under any Act. However, the Fines Regulation 1997 provides for the application until 1 January 2000 of former fine enforcement legislation (for example, provisions of the Crimes Act 1900 and the Forfeited Recognizances and Bail Act 1954) in respect of fines imposed on interstate residents. This allows the continuation of existing arrangements for the issue of warrants by Local Courts, which is required under the fine enforcement system for interstate residents provided under Commonwealth law. The object of this Regulation is to extend the period for which the former fine enforcement legislation is to apply until 1 July 2000.

This Regulation is made under the Fines Act 1996, including section 128 (the general regulation-making power) and clause 1 (1) of Schedule 3.
