(1) The fact that an offence in respect of which a registrable offender has
been found guilty becomes spent does not affect-

        this Act in respect of the registrable offender; or

   (b)  any reporting obligations of the registrable offender.

(2) For the purposes of this section, an offence becomes spent if, under a law
in any jurisdiction, the registrable offender is permitted to not disclose the
fact that he or she was convicted or found guilty of the offence.
