Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations prescribe the whole of Scotland as an area in which a person may be given a fixed penalty notice if a constable has reason to believe that the person has committed a fixed penalty offence as defined in section 128(1) of the Antisocial Behaviour etc. (Scotland) Act 2004.

These Regulations revoke the Antisocial Behaviour (Fixed Penalty Offence) (Prescribed Area) (Scotland) Regulations 2005 which prescribed the Tayside combined police area as the area in which fixed penalty notices of the type described above could be issued.

No Regulatory Impact Assessment has been prepared in respect of these Regulations.
