RESTRAINT ORDERS BILL 2019 BILL 29 OF 2019

                                            FACT SHEET
                                    Restraint Orders Bill 2019
The Restraint Orders Bill 2019 replaces and updates Part XA of the Justices Act 1959 as part of
broader reforms associated with the introduction of the Magistrates Court (Criminal and General
Division) Bill 2019.

The Restraint Orders Bill 2019 retains the principles embodied in existing restraint order
legislation, while updating definitions and improving the operation and availability of orders
made under those provisions.

The Bill includes provisions relating to:

               restraint orders;

               interim restraint orders; and

               electronic interim restraint orders.

The Bill also makes provision for the registration of external restraint orders, which
encompasses certain orders made by courts of another State, Territory, or New Zealand.

The provisions relating to restraint orders, interim restraint orders, electronic interim restraint
orders and external restraint order provisions in this Bill largely replicate the current provisions
of the Justices Act 1959.
