[1.4]	Section 2, note 1
substitute
Note 1	The dictionary at the end of this Act defines certain terms used in this Act, and includes references (signpost definitions) to other terms defined elsewhere.
	For example, the signpost definition ‘mental dysfunction—see the Mental Health (Treatment and Care) Act 1994, dictionary.’ means that the term ‘mental dysfunction’ is defined in that dictionary and the definition applies to this Act.
[1.5]	Section 8A
substitute
8A	Entitlement to bail—breach of sentence obligations
	(1)	This section applies to a person arrested, or otherwise brought before the court or a magistrate, in relation to a breach, or anticipated breach, of—
	(a)	a deferred sentence obligation under the Crimes (Sentencing) Act 2005; or
	(b)	any of the following obligations under the Crimes (Sentence Administration) Act 2005:
	(i)	a periodic detention obligation;
	(ii)	a good behaviour obligation;
	(iii)	a parole obligation;
	(iv)	a release on licence obligation.
	(2)	The person has the same entitlement to bail in relation to the breach, or anticipated breach, of the obligation as the person has under this part in relation to the offence to which the obligation relates.
Examples
1	Martin has been found guilty of armed robbery and sentenced to periodic detention.  He has breached his periodic detention obligations and is arrested and brought before a magistrate under the Crimes (Sentence Administration) Act 2005, section 65 (Arrest warrant—breach of periodic detention obligations).  There is no presumption in relation to bail because the offence of armed robbery is an offence to which division 2.2 (Presumption for bail) does not apply.
2	Joe has been found guilty of threatening to kill.  Joe had, 3 years before, been found guilty of an offence involving violence.  A suspended sentence order under the Crimes (Sentencing) Act 2005 is made as part of the sentence for the offence of threatening to kill and Joe is released under the order on signing an undertaking under a good behaviour order.  However, Joe breaches the good behaviour order and is before the court on an application to cancel the order.  There is no presumption in relation to bail because section 9B (b) applies to make the offence of threatening to kill an offence to which division 2.2 (Presumption for bail) does not apply. 
Note	An example is part of the Act, is not exhaustive and may extend, but does not limit, the meaning of the provision in which it appears (see Legislation Act, s 126 and s 132).
	(3)	This section also applies to a person arrested, or otherwise brought before the court, in relation to a breach, or anticipated breach, of an obligation under an order to which the Crimes (Sentence Administration) Act 2005, section 332 (Home detention orders—Rehabilitation of Offenders (Interim) Act) applies.
	(4)	Subsection (3) is a law to which the Legislation Act, section 88 (Repeal does not end effect of transitional laws etc) applies.
	(5)	This subsection, subsection (3) and subsection (4) expire 3 years after the day this section commences. 
8B	Entitlement to bail—custody relating to sentence administration board hearings
	(1)	This section applies if—
	(a)	a person is arrested under the Crimes (Sentence Administration) Act 2005, section 206 (Arrest of offender for board hearing) and brought before a magistrate; or
	(b)	a person is remanded in custody under the Crimes (Sentence Administration) Act 2005, section 210 (Custody of offender during board hearing adjournment) and an application for bail for the person is made to a court or magistrate.
	(2)	The person has the same entitlement to bail as the person had for the offence to which the board hearing relates.
[1.6]	Section 9D (6), definition of outstanding, note
substitute
Note	Found guilty, of an offence, includes—
·	having an order made for the offence under the Crimes (Sentencing) Act 2005, s 17 (Non-conviction orders—general)

·	having an order made for the offence under the Children and Young People Act 1999, s 98 (Disposition without proceeding to conviction)

	(i)	accept supervision by the chief executive; and
	(ii)	comply with any reasonable direction of the chief executive; and
Examples of directions
1	a direction to attend a program
2	a direction to comply with a mental health assessment or treatment order made by the mental health tribunal
3	a direction to attend drug or alcohol counselling
Note	An example is part of the Act, is not exhaustive and may extend, but does not limit, the meaning of the provision in which it appears (see Legislation Act, s 126 and s 132).
[1.8]	Section 31 (1) (d)
substitute
	(d)	for an accused person who is at a correctional centre or a NSW correctional centre—the person in charge of the centre.
[1.9]	Section 48 (2) to (5)
substitute
	(2)	The person in charge of the correctional centre or other place where the person is in custody must give the court written notice that the person remains in custody because of the failure to comply with a bail condition.
Note	If a form is approved under s 58 for a notice, the form must be used.
	(3)	The notice must be given to the court not later than 7 days after the day the person is received into custody.
	(4)	To remove any doubt, the court to which a notice is given under subsection (2) may, on its own initiative, conduct a review under section 46 of the condition on which bail was granted.
	(5)	A notice under this section is required to be given only once in relation to any particular grant of bail.

	(i)	an order sentencing the offender;
	(ii)	an order under the Crimes (Sentencing) Act 2005, section 12 (Suspended sentences) or section 17 (Non‑conviction orders—general);
Note	Orders under the Crimes Act 1900, s 402 (Conditional release of offenders without proceeding to conviction) (repealed) and s 403 (Conditional release of offenders) (repealed) are taken to be orders under the Crimes (Sentencing) Act 2005, s 12 or s 17 (see Crimes (Sentence Administration) Act 2005, s 336 to s 338).

2	an order for periodic detention under the Crimes (Sentencing) Act 2005
3	a good behaviour order under the Crimes (Sentencing) Act 2005, including an order subject to a community service condition

Note 2	The Crimes (Sentencing) Act 2005, section 33 (1) (x) provides that, in deciding how an offender should be sentenced (if at all) for an offence, the matters known to the court that it must consider include, if relevant, the fact that the person has accepted responsibility for the offence to take part in restorative justice.
	However, the Crimes (Sentencing) Act 2005, section 34 (1) (g) provides that a court must not increase the severity of the sentence that it would otherwise impose on a person for an offence because the offender has chosen not to take part, or to continue to take part, in restorative justice for the offence.
[1.102]	Section 55 (2), example
substitute
Example
Sam is an offender, and Bella is a victim of Sam’s offence.  Sam is found guilty of the offence but, under the Crimes (Sentencing) Act 2005, section 17 (Non‑conviction orders—general), the charge is dismissed and no conviction is recorded.  After taking part in a restorative justice conference, Sam and Bella sign a restorative justice agreement under which Sam agrees to work in Bella’s garden every Saturday for 6 months.
However, 4 months after the start of the agreement, the company Sam works for moves its head office from Canberra to Brisbane, and Sam is required to move there before the 6 months is over to keep his job.  Sam has until then complied fully with the agreement.
The convenor may consider, because of Sam’s history of compliance with the agreement, and the change in Sam’s situation, there is a change in Sam’s situation that would justify an amendment to the agreement to reduce its term so that it will end when Sam has to move to Brisbane.
Note 1	See s (5), def change in the situation.  The definition excludes a change in the offender’s, victim’s or parent’s attitude to compliance with the restorative justice agreement.
Note 2	An example is part of the Act, is not exhaustive and may extend, but does not limit, the meaning of the provision in which it appears (see Legislation Act, s 126 and s 132).

Example
Pat has been found guilty of an offence but, without convicting Pat, the court makes a good behaviour order under the Crimes (Sentencing) Act 2005, section 17 (Non-conviction orders—general).  The offence is referred for restorative justice by the chief executive (corrections).
After a restorative justice conference, Pat enters into a restorative justice agreement with the victim of the offence.  Under the agreement, Pat promises to attend a rehabilitation program on a particular night of the week for 3 months.  However, after 2 weeks, Pat breaches the agreement by stopping to attend the program.
The chief executive (restorative justice) becomes aware of the breach of the agreement.  Under section 57 (2), the chief executive (restorative justice) must report the breach to the referring entity, the chief executive (corrections).  However, the chief executive (restorative justice) is the same person as the chief executive (corrections).
This section requires the chief executive to ensure that administrative arrangements are made for the report to be given by a delegate of the chief executive in the chief executive’s capacity as administering this Act to someone else who is a delegate of the chief executive in the chief executive’s capacity as administering sentence-related orders such as the order for Pat.
