Fines Act
Transfer of functions of Infringement Processing Bureau to Office of State Revenue
The Infringement Processing Bureau within the Police Department became part of the Office of State Revenue from 1 October 2003. The amendments enable certain persons employed in the Office of State Revenue to issue and deal with penalty notices.
The amendments also:
expand the functions expressed to be exercised by the State Debt Recovery Office to enable that Office to enter into arrangements for the collection and recovery of money payable under penalty notices and the issuing of courtesy letters;
enable regulations of a savings or transitional nature to be made as a consequence of the amendments made to the Act;
insert transitional provisions into the Act which:
-
add the Treasurer and the Director of the State Debt Recovery Office as parties to service agreements in force as at 1 October 2003 that were entered into by the Infringement Processing Bureau for the recovery of penalties payable under penalty notices; and
translate references in instruments relating to the Infringement Processing Bureau into references to the Office of State Revenue or the State Debt Recovery Office, as the case requires.
