The Management of Offenders (Scotland) Act 2019 (Commencement No. 6 and Saving Provisions) Regulations 2022

These Regulations bring further provisions of Part 1 and the remainder of schedule 1 of the Management of Offenders (Scotland) Act 2019 (“the 2019 Act”) into force. Part 1 of the 2019 Act introduces a new regime for the electronic monitoring (“EM”) of court disposals and licence conditions. Schedule 1 of the 2019 Act amends the law relating to Community Payback Orders (“CPOs”) to enable the imposition of a restricted movement requirement when the CPO is first imposed on an individual. Schedule 1 also repeals the existing law on EM which is no longer required following the introduction of the new EM regime in Part 1 of the 2019 Act.
