📘 Sentence Administration Amendment Act 2018
This Act amends the Sentence Administration Act 2003 to introduce new requirements regarding the release of prisoners convicted of homicide offences. It mandates that the Parole Board cannot release or recommend release unless the prisoner cooperates in locating the victim's remains or the police already know the location.
Impact
The Act affects prisoners serving sentences for homicide offences and homicide-related offences by adding a condition for parole eligibility. It also impacts the Parole Board, requiring them to seek reports from the Commissioner of Police and consider the prisoner's cooperation in locating the victim's remains. Victims' families are also affected.
