Transitional etc provisions associated with Act or amendments

Statutes Amendment (Truth in Sentencing) Act 1994, ss 20 and 21, as amended by Statutes Amendment (Correctional Services) Act 1995, s 4

20—Reduction of existing sentences and non-parole periods

(1) Subject to subsection (2), a sentence of imprisonment (including a suspended sentence) imposed before the commencement of this Act and a non-parole period imposed before the commencement of this Act are, on the commencement of this Act, reduced—

(a) by the number of days of remission credited to the prisoner or youth; and

(b) by the maximum number of days of remission that the prisoner or youth could have earned after the commencement of this Act had this Act not repealed Part 7 of the Correctional Services Act 1982.

(2) If a prisoner or youth becomes liable to serve the unexpired balance of a term of imprisonment imposed before the commencement of this Act, no reduction of that balance is to be made under this section.

(3) In subsection (1), the maximum number of days of remission, in relation to a sentence of imprisonment (including a suspended sentence) in respect of which a non-parole period has been fixed, means the maximum number of days of remission that the prisoner or youth could have earned in respect of that non-parole period assuming that he or she was released in accordance with section 66(1) of the Correctional Services Act 1982 (as in force before the commencement of this Act), whether or not he or she is in fact released at the end of the non-parole period (as reduced under this section).

21—Sentences imposed after commencement of this Act

(1) A court, in fixing the term of a sentence of imprisonment or in fixing or extending a non-parole period, must, when considering sentences imposed before the commencement of this Act (but after the commencement of the Prisons Act Amendment Act (No. 2) 1983) for comparable offences, take into account the abolition of the previous statutory scheme for remission of sentence.

(2) This section applies whether the offence to which the sentence or non-parole period relates was committed before or after the commencement of this Act.

Statutes Amendment (Correctional Services) Act 1995

5—Transitional provision

Nothing in section 4 of this Act affects a decision or order of a court or the Parole Board made before the commencement of this Act.

Correctional Services (Parole) Amendment Act 2005, Sch 1

1—Transitional provision

(1) A member of the Board holding office under the Correctional Services Act 1982 (the principal Act) immediately before the commencement of this Schedule will, on that commencement, continue in office for the balance of the person's term, subject to section 58 of the principal Act.

(2) The amendments made by Part 2 of this Act to Part 6 Division 3 of the principal Act are intended to apply in respect of prisoners serving sentences of imprisonment immediately before the commencement of this Schedule regardless of when the prisoners were sentenced.

(3) However, if, before the commencement of this Schedule, the Board had, under section 66 of the principal Act, ordered a prisoner to be released from prison or home detention on parole, the prisoner is, subject to the provisions of Part 6 Division 3 of that Act as in force immediately before that commencement, to be released on parole.

Justices of the Peace Act 2005, Sch 2

15—Transitional provision

An amendment made by Schedule 2 of the Justices of the Peace Act 2005 to the Correctional Services Act 1982 does not apply in respect of proceedings commenced before the commencement of the amending provision (and those proceedings may continue as if the amending provision had not been enacted).

Controlled Substances (Serious Drug Offences) Amendment Act 2005, Sch 1

6—Transitional provision

An amendment to the principal Act effected by a provision of this Act only applies in relation to an offence if the offence is committed on or after the commencement of the provision.
