sec.24 Issuing interstate travel permit to local offender
This section applies to a local offender whose local sentence is subject to a condition, whether imposed by the sentence or otherwise, that prohibits the offender from leaving Queensland without permission. Permission to leave Queensland is to be granted, varied and revoked, and conditions of permission are to be imposed and varied, in accordance with the Ministerial arrangements. As soon as practicable after the permission is granted, the local authority must— incorporate the terms and conditions of the permission in an interstate travel permit; and give a copy of the interstate travel permit to the local offender; and give a copy of the following things to the interstate authority of each interstate jurisdiction to which the interstate travel permit authorises travel— the interstate travel permit; the other documents, or information about the local offender, required or authorised to be provided under the Ministerial arrangements. If the terms or conditions of the permission are varied, the local authority must, as soon as practicable after the variation happens— incorporate the terms and conditions of the permission, as varied, in an amended interstate travel permit; and give a copy of the amended interstate travel permit to the local offender; and give a copy of the following things to the interstate authority of each interstate jurisdiction to which the permit authorises travel— the amended interstate travel permit; the other documents or information relevant to the variation. If the permission is revoked, the local authority must, as soon as practicable after the revocation happens, give written notice of the revocation to the local offender and to the interstate authority of each interstate jurisdiction to which the interstate travel permit authorised travel. An interstate travel permit ceases to have effect in an interstate jurisdiction to which it authorises travel if— written notice is given under subsection (5) to the interstate authority of that jurisdiction, regardless of whether or not the local offender has received the notice; or the offender is arrested under a warrant issued under the corresponding law of that jurisdiction. This section applies despite any other law of Queensland about issuing interstate travel permits to local offenders.
