EXPLANATORY NOTE
This Order is the fourteenth commencement order made under the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012 (c. 10) (“the 2012 Act”).
Article 2 brings into force section 76 of the Act, which inserts section 212A into the Criminal Justice Act [2003 (c. 44)](https://www.legislation.gov.uk/ukpga/2003/44)[^f00003]. This provides that an alcohol abstinence and monitoring requirement can be imposed as part of a requirement of a community order or a suspended sentence order.
Section 77(2) of the 2012 Act provides that an order for the purposes of bringing section 76 into effect for the whole of England and Wales cannot be made until a piloting order has been made. That pre-condition has been met by the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012 (Alcohol Abstinence and Monitoring Requirements) Piloting Order (S.I. 2014/1777) and subsequent piloting orders.
A full impact assessment of the effect section 212A of the Criminal Justice Act 2003 will have on the private, voluntary or public sectors is available from www.legislation.gov.uk.
