Sentencing Act 2020

Electronic compliance monitoring requirement

29 (1) In this Code “electronic compliance monitoring requirement”, in relation to a relevant order, means a requirement for securing the electronic monitoring of the offender’s compliance with other requirements imposed by the order during a period (“the monitoring period”)—

(a) specified in the order, or

(b) determined by the responsible officer in accordance with the relevant order.

(2) Sub-paragraph (3) applies where the responsible officer is to determine the monitoring period in accordance with the relevant order.

(3) Before it begins, the responsible officer must notify the following people of when the monitoring period is to begin—

(a) the offender,

(b) the person responsible for the monitoring, and

(c) any person falling within paragraph 33(b).

(4) An electronic compliance monitoring requirement may not be imposed for securing the electronic monitoring of the offender’s compliance with an alcohol abstinence and monitoring requirement.

(5) But that does not prevent an order which imposes an alcohol abstinence and monitoring requirement from including an electronic compliance monitoring requirement for securing the electronic monitoring of the offender’s compliance with any other requirement.
