### sec.179F Enforcement of offender levy by registration
When an offender becomes liable to pay the offender levy under section 179C , the proper officer of the court must give the same particulars in relation to the levy to the SPER registrar for registration that it would give if—
the court made an order fining the offender the amount of the levy for the offence; and
the proper officer were the registrar of the court; and
The SPE Act uses the term ‘registrar of the court’.
the particulars were the prescribed particulars of the unpaid amount of the fine.
The SPER registrar must register the particulars.
For the purposes of registration, and on registration, the SPE Act , other than the excluded provisions, applies, with all necessary and convenient changes, to the levy and to the offender in the same way as it applies—
to the unpaid amount of a fine, for an offence, imposed by a court on a person the particulars of which are registered; and
to that person.
The requirement under subsection (1) (c) to give prescribed particulars is subject to a regulation made under the SPE Act for offender levies.
The proper officer may give amended particulars to SPER for registration if amendment of the particulars is necessary because of error.
This section does not apply if all of the amount of the levy is paid under section 179E (3) before the particulars have been given under subsection (1) .
