Sentencing Legislation Amendment and Repeal Bill 1999
Bill No. |
98 |
Long Title |
The purpose of this Bill is to -
amend the Sentencing Act 1995; amend the Young Offenders Act 1994; repeal the Sentence Administration Act 1995; and
give Parliament more control over the sentences that will be imposed, particularly for offences seen as of especial aggravation to the community. This Bill forms part of the Sentencing Legislation Amendment and Repeal Bill 1998 [50-2], which was divided into two Bills by the Legislative Council. The reason for dividing that Bill was so that the other part of the Bill; the Sentencing Matrix Bill 1999 [99-1], could be referred to the Standing Committee on Legislation. |
