Effects of this bill
If this bill passes, it means that:
Only the Commissioner of Corrective Services can conduct electronic monitoring for people on bail.
Accused people must stay in custody until they are fitted with a monitoring device.
Bail conditions cannot require electronic monitoring unless imposed under section 28B.
People using private monitoring services must apply to vary their bail during a three-month transition period.
The end of the transition period counts as a change in circumstances for bail variation applications.
People who still use private monitoring after the transition period are treated as having breached their bail.
