Citation\n\n\t\tThese regulations are the *Prohibited Behaviour Orders Regulations 2011*.\n\n##### 2. Commencement\n\nThese regulations come into operation as follows —\n\n(a) regulations 1 and 2 — on the day on which these regulations are published in the *Gazette*;\n\n(b) the rest of the regulations — on the day on which the *Prohibited Behaviour Orders Act 2010*, other than sections 1 and 2, comes into operation.\n\n##### 3. Terms used\n\nIn these regulations, unless the contrary intention appears —\n\nAct means the *Prohibited Behaviour Orders Act 2010*;\n\nco‑licensee, of a firearm item in respect of which the constrained person holds a firearms authorisation, means another person who holds a firearms authorisation for that firearm item;\n\nCommissioner means the Commissioner of Police;\n\nsection means a section of the Act.\n\n[Regulation 3 amended: SL 2022/189 r. 6.]\n\n##### 4. Offences to be taken to involve anti‑social behaviour (Act s. 3(2))\n\nEach offence —\n\n(a) under a provision listed in Schedule 1 column 1; and\n\n(b) committed in the circumstances, if any, specified in Schedule 1 column 2,\n\nis a prescribed offence for the purposes of section 3(2).\n\n##### 5. Firearm items and firearms authorisations given up (Act s. 30(1))\n\n(1) In this regulation —\n\nprescribed period means —\n\n(a) 24 hours; or\n\n(b) a shorter period, if any, ordered by the court under section 30(4).\n\n(2) This regulation applies for the purposes of section 30(1).\n\n(3) Within the prescribed period after he or she is given a PBO described in section 29, or an order varying a PBO so that it becomes a PBO described in section 29, the constrained person must —\n\n(a) if the constrained person holds a firearms authorisation, give it to a police officer at a police station; and\n\n(b) if the constrained person is in physical possession of a firearm item, give it to —\n\n(i) a police officer at a police station; or\n\n(ii) a co‑licensee of the firearm item, if there is one.\n\n[Regulation 5 amended: SL 2022/189 r. 6.]\n\n##### 6. Dealing with firearm items or firearms authorisations given up or seized (Act s. 30(2) and 31)\n\n(1) This regulation applies for the purposes of sections 30(2) and 31.\n\n(2) The firearm item or firearms authorisation must be held in safe custody by the Commissioner until —\n\n(a) in the case of the firearm item —\n\n(i) it is claimed under regulation 7(1) or (2); or\n\n(ii) it can be lawfully disposed of by the Commissioner;\n\nor\n\n(b) in the case of a firearms authorisation —\n\n(i) it is claimed under regulation 7(2); or\n\n(ii) it ceases to be in force under the *Firearms Act 2024*.\n\n[(3) deleted]\n\n[Regulation 6 amended: SL 2022/189 r. 4 and 6; SL 2024/300 r. 4.]\n\n##### 7. Claims for firearm items and firearms authorisations\n\n(1) A co‑licensee may claim a firearm item held by the Commissioner under regulation 6.\n\n(2) A constrained person may, after the PBO ceases to be in force, claim a firearm item or firearms authorisation held by the Commissioner under regulation 6.\n\n(3) A claim made under subregulation (1) or (2) must be made in a form approved by the Commissioner.\n\n(4) Subject to subregulation (5), the Commissioner must give the firearm item or firearms authorisation to the claimant.\n\n(5) This regulation —\n\n(a) is subject to the exercise by the Commissioner of functions under the *Firearms Act 2024* Part 4 Division 8 or 9, Part 8 or any other provision of that Act; and\n\n(b) does not require the Commissioner to return a firearm item or firearms authorisation to a person if the Commissioner is not satisfied the person is entitled to its lawful possession under the *Firearms Act 2024*.\n\n[Regulation 7 amended: SL 2022/189 r. 5 and 6; SL 2024/300 r. 5.]\n\n##### 8. Registrar to provide publication information to CEO\n\n(1) In this regulation —\n\nCEO has the meaning given in section 34(1).\n\n(2) After a court makes a PBO under section 6(2) or 24(2)(b), a registrar must cause to be given to the CEO written notice of the following information relating to the PBO —\n\n(a) the name of the constrained person;\n\n(b) the town or suburb where the constrained person lives;\n\n(c) the constraints imposed by the PBO on the activities and behaviour of the constrained person.\n\n(3) After a court makes an order under section 24(2)(a) varying a PBO, a registrar must cause to be given to the CEO written notice of any changes to information referred to in subregulation (2) relating to the PBO.\n\n(4) After a court makes an order under section 24 cancelling a PBO, a registrar must cause to be given to the CEO written notice of that fact.\n\n[Regulation 8 inserted: Gazette 1 Jul 2011 p. 2725‑6.]\n\nSchedule 1 — Offences to be taken to involve anti‑social

The instrument has not grown substantially beyond that operational remit."},"complexity_factors":["Relatively short regulation (8 regs plus Schedule) but several cross‑references to the Prohibited Behaviour Orders Act 2010 and the Firearms Act 2024","Schedule 1 lists many offences drawn from multiple statutes, increasing cross‑reference complexity for practitioners","Several conditional rules and exceptions: 24‑hour \"prescribed period\" subject to court shortening (reg 5); Commissioner’s return obligation subject to Firearms Act functions and satisfaction of lawful entitlement (reg 7(4)‑(5))","Inter-agency procedural steps required (court → registrar → CEO; police custody and claims) create operational complexity (reg 8; regs 6–7)","Small number of defined terms (about 6) so interpretation load is moderate but dependent on external Acts for key definitions (e.g. CEO, firearms authorisation)","Amendments across multiple years (2021–2024) including deleted subregulation and insertions, so keeping track of historical vs current text requires care"],"plain_english_summary":"**What these Regulations do (mechanics)\n\n- They are subordinate rules that sit under the Prohibited Behaviour Orders Act 2010 and set out practical details the Act needs to work.\n\n- Commencement: Regulations 1 and 2 come into effect on their Gazette publication day; the rest start when the main Act does (regs 1–2).\n\n- Key definitions used in the Regulations are limited (reg 3): for example, \"Act\" means the Prohibited Behaviour Orders Act 2010; \"Commissioner\" means the Commissioner of Police; \"co‑licensee\" means another person who holds a firearms authorisation for the same firearm item as the constrained person.\n\n- Which offences count as \"anti‑social behaviour\": The regulations list specific offences from a number of statutes (Schedule 1). Any offence in that list, when committed in any specified circumstances in Schedule 1, is a \"prescribed offence\" for the Act’s definition of anti‑social behaviour (reg 4 and Schedule 1).\n\n- Firearms and firearms authorisations when a Prohibited Behaviour Order (PBO) is made: If a court makes (or varies so that it becomes) a PBO described in section 29 of the Act, the person subject to the PBO (the \"constrained person\") must, within the \"prescribed period\" (24 hours unless the court orders a shorter period), surrender any firearms authorisation to a police officer at a police station and deliver any firearm they physically possess either to a police officer at a station or to a co‑licensee (reg 5).\n\n- Custody and disposal while PBO in force: The Commissioner must keep surrendered or seized firearm items and firearms authorisations in safe custody until they are claimed (by an eligible person) or can be lawfully disposed of (reg 6). For authorisations, custody continues until they are claimed or they cease to be in force under the Firearms Act 2024 (reg 6(b)).\n\n- Who can claim items back and when: A co‑licensee may claim a firearm item at any time; a constrained person may claim a firearm or authorisation only after the PBO has ended. Claims must use the Commissioner’s approved form. The Commissioner must return items unless prevented by functions or powers under the Firearms Act 2024 or unless not satisfied the person is lawfully entitled to possession (reg 7).\n\n- Court registrars must notify the CEO (the chief executive identified in the Act) about PBOs: after a court makes, varies, or cancels a PBO the registrar must promptly provide written notice with the constrained person’s name, their town/suburb and the constraints imposed (reg 8).\n\nWho is affected\n\n- Constrained persons: people subject to a PBO face immediate procedural obligations — surrendering firearms authorisations and any firearms in physical possession within the prescribed period (reg 5).\n\n- Co‑licensees: individuals who hold authorisations for the same firearm item can receive a firearm from a constrained person and can claim items held in custody (reg 3, reg 5(3)(b)(ii), reg 7(1)).\n\n- Police / Commissioner of Police: responsible for receiving surrendered items, providing safe custody, deciding claims, and potentially disposing of items lawfully (regs 5–7).\n\n- Courts and registrars: must provide PBO details to the CEO for publication and maintain records (reg 8).\n\nWhy it matters (official purpose and operational consequences)\n\n- The regulations operationalise parts of the PBO regime by specifying which offences count as anti‑social behaviour (Schedule 1), by setting time limits and procedures for surrendering firearms-related property when a PBO is made (reg 5), and by fixing how surrendered or seized items are held and returned (regs 6–7). The registrar-to-CEO notice requirement (reg 8) supports publication/recordkeeping required by the Act.\n\nAnalytical note testing purpose-claims against costs, incentives and implementation issues\n\n- Purpose claim (as set out by the instrument): to manage risks arising from persons subject to PBOs by removing immediate access to firearms and by identifying prescribed \"anti‑social\" offences. The Regulations do this by imposing a short, usually 24‑hour, surrender window (reg 5) and by clerical reporting to the CEO (reg 8).\n\n- Who pays and who bears costs: The constrained person bears the immediate cost of losing access to firearms/authorisations temporarily and the administrative burden of surrender. The Commissioner (state) bears custody and storage costs and the administrative cost of assessing and processing claims (regs 6–7). Courts and registrars incur record-keeping obligations (reg 8).\n\n- Incentives and behavioural effects: Constrained persons must surrender quickly; some may seek to transfer firearms to co‑licensees (permitted by reg 5(b)(ii)), which shifts possession rather than removes access completely. That creates an incentive for constrained persons to rely on co‑licensees, and may create disputes about entitlement. Co‑licensees benefit by lawful access or by the ability to claim items from police custody (reg 7(1)).\n\n- Compliance burden and discretion: The Commissioner has discretion to refuse return if not satisfied the claimant is lawfully entitled under the Firearms Act 2024 (reg 7(5)), and the Commissioner’s functions under the Firearms Act may affect custody/return (reg 7(5)(a), reg 6). Courts may shorten the surrender period (reg 5(1)(b)), which adds conditional logic and judicial discretion.\n\n- Cross‑agency dependencies and implementation risk: The scheme depends on coordination between courts, registrars, the police (Commissioner), and the Firearms Act 2024 regime. Practical risks include chain‑of‑custody, storage capacity, timely assessment of lawful entitlement, and disputes over co‑licensee status.\n\n- Effects on private choice and markets: Licensed firearm owners face a temporary restriction on possession when subject to a PBO; this may affect hunters, sport shooters or businesses that rely on legitimate firearm possession. There is potential substitution where constrained persons rely on co‑licensees to retain access, which changes how firearms are stored and who is listed as a licensee.\n\n- Concentration of benefits and costs: The immediate public‑safety benefit (as claimed by the instrument) is concentrated on public safety agencies and the general public to the extent access reduction lowers risk. Costs (administrative and loss of use) are concentrated on constrained persons and potentially on co‑licensees who must manage transferred items.\n\n- Legal and procedural trade‑offs: The Regulations trade a quick mechanical rule (24‑hour surrender) for potential legal contention about entitlement and the need for the Commissioner to apply the Firearms Act when deciding returns. They rely on existing firearms law rather than re‑creating detailed assessment criteria in these Regulations (regs 6–7).\n\nPractical takeaways (section pointers)\n\n- If you are subject to a PBO with firearms implications: you must surrender authorisations and firearms within the prescribed period (reg 5) and cannot reclaim them until the PBO ends unless a co‑licensee claims a firearm earlier (reg 7).\n\n- If you are a co‑licensee: you may accept a firearm from a constrained person and may claim items from police custody (regs 3, 5, 7).\n\n- If you are an agency administrator: prepare for custody, claim-processing and registrar notifications to the CEO (regs 6–8).\n\n(For precise legal obligations, see regulations 3–8 and Schedule 1.)"},"kimi_summary":{"content_quality":"ok","complexity_score":3,"scope_assessment":{"changed":false,"description":"The regulations remain tightly focused on their original purpose: supporting the PBO Act by listing qualifying offences, managing firearms surrender, and enabling public notification.

They do three main things:\n\n**1. Define what counts as 'anti-social behaviour'**\n- Schedule 1 lists specific criminal offences that automatically count as anti-social behaviour for the purposes of getting a Prohibited Behaviour Order (PBO). These include assaults, theft, drug offences, weapons offences, public disorder, liquor violations, and various driving offences.\n\n**2. Set rules for firearms when someone gets a PBO**\n- If a court gives someone a PBO that includes a firearms ban, that person must hand over their guns and gun licences to police within 24 hours (or sooner if the court orders it).\n- Police must keep the guns and licences in safe custody until either a co-owner claims the guns, the person claims them back after the PBO ends, or the licence expires under firearms law.\n- Claims must be made on an approved form, and police can refuse to return items if the person isn't legally entitled to possess them under the Firearms Act 2024.\n\n**3. Require court registrars to notify the CEO about PBOs**\n- When a court makes, varies, or cancels a PBO, the registrar must tell the CEO (the person responsible for publishing PBO details) the person's name, suburb, and what restrictions apply.\n\n**Who it affects:** People subject to PBOs (called 'constrained persons'), police, court staff, gun owners, and co-licensees of firearms.\n\n**Why it matters:** These rules ensure dangerous people subject to behaviour orders can't keep their weapons, and that the public can be informed about restrictions on offenders in their area."},"summary":{"complexity_score":1,"scope_assessment":{"changed":false,"description":"Scope cannot be assessed as the legislative text was not available for analysis.
