REGULATORY POWERS (STANDARD PROVISIONS) ACT 2014 - SECT 98

Simplified outline

    The following is a simplified outline of this Part:

This Part   creates a framework for the use of infringement notices where an infringement officer reasonably believes that a provision has been contravened.

For this Part to operate, a provision must be made subject to an infringement notice under this Part. This is to be done by another Act.

A person can be given an infringement notice in relation to a contravention of a provision that is subject to an infringement notice under this Part. The provision may be a strict liability offence provision or a civil penalty provision, or both.

A person who is given an infringement notice can choose to pay an amount as an alternative to having court proceedings brought against the person for a contravention of a provision subject to an infringement notice under this Part. If the person does not choose to pay the amount, proceedings can be brought against the person in relation to the contravention.
