27C Issue of interstate travel permit to local offender

(1) This section applies to a local offender whose sentence is subject to a condition (whether imposed by the sentence or otherwise) that prohibits the offender from leaving this jurisdiction without permission.

(2) Permission to leave this jurisdiction is to be granted, varied and revoked, and conditions of permission are to be imposed and varied, in accordance with the relevant Ministerial arrangements.

(3) As soon as practicable after any such permission is granted, the local authority:

(a) must incorporate the terms and conditions of the permission in an interstate travel permit, and

(b) must provide a copy of the permit to the offender, and

(c) must provide:

(i) a copy of the permit, and

(ii) such other documents or information about the offender as are required or authorised to be sent under the relevant Ministerial arrangements,

to the interstate authority of each interstate jurisdiction to which the permit authorises travel.

(4) As soon as practicable after the terms or conditions of any such permission are varied, the local authority:

(a) must incorporate the terms and conditions of the permission, as varied, in an amended interstate travel permit, and

(b) must provide a copy of the amended permit to the offender, and

(c) must provide:

(i) a copy of the amended permit, and

(ii) such other documents or information as are relevant to the variation,

to the interstate authority of each interstate jurisdiction to which the permit authorises travel.

(5) As soon as practicable after any such permission is revoked, the local authority must provide written notice of that fact to the offender and to the interstate authority of each interstate jurisdiction to which the permit authorised travel.

(6) An interstate travel permit ceases to have effect in an interstate jurisdiction to which it authorises travel:

(a) if written notice referred to in subsection (5) is provided to the interstate authority of that jurisdiction (regardless of whether or not the offender has received such notice), or

(b) if the offender is arrested pursuant to a warrant issued under the corresponding law of that jurisdiction.
