SENTENCE ADMINISTRATION (INTERSTATE TRANSFER OF COMMUNITY BASED SENTENCES) ACT 2009 - SECT 27

27 .         Effect of interstate registration

        (1)         If the local sentence is registered in the interstate jurisdiction, the following provisions have effect —

            (a)         the sentence becomes a community based sentence in force in the interstate jurisdiction, and ceases to be a community based sentence in force in this jurisdiction;

            (b)         the offender may be dealt with in the interstate jurisdiction for a breach of the sentence, whether the breach happened before, or happens after, the registration of the sentence;

            (c)         if the sentence is registered in the local register — the sentence ceases to be registered.

        (2)         If this jurisdiction is the originating jurisdiction for the local sentence, this section does not affect any right of appeal or review (however described) in relation to —

            (a)         the conviction or finding of guilt on which the sentence was based; or

            (b)         the imposition of the sentence.

        (3)         To remove any doubt, this section does not prevent the local sentence from later being registered in this jurisdiction.
