I move amendment No. 23:

In page 8, to delete lines 26 to 33 and substitute the following: “(c) in subsection (5) —

(i) in the definition of “effective date of conviction”, by substituting “a relevant court” for “the District Court”, and

(ii) in the definition of “excluded offence” by substituting “2016;” for “2016.”, and by inserting the following definitions after the definition of “excluded offence”:

“ ‘relevant court’ means the District Court or the Circuit Court;

‘relevant period’ in relation to a relevant sentence of a court imposed on a person, means the period that applies under section 4A of the Criminal Justice (Spent Convictions and Certain Disclosures) Act 2016 in respect of the sentence and includes any extension of that period under section 4B of that Act;

‘relevant sentence’ has the meaning given to it in Part 2 of the Criminal Justice (Spent Convictions and Certain Disclosures) Act 2016.”,

and

(d) by deleting subsection (6).”.”.
