Fines Bill 2009: Committee Stage.
10:30 am
Ivana Bacik (Independent)
I move amendment No. 4:
In page 4, subsection (1), line 20, after "enactment" to insert "amended by this Act or".
The first amendment is a drafting amendment to facilitate the interpretation of the legislation amended by section 9 of the Bill so in future legislation will use the simple expression "class A fine" rather than the more unwieldy expression "class A fine within the meaning of this Part". It tries to improve upon the terminology that will be used in future when people are referring to the classes of fines created by the Bill.
The later amendments relate to section 10 of the Bill and again try to use a less long-winded formula when referring to classes of fines.
