Tasmania regulation
These regulations identify which offences in the Public Health Act 1997 may be dealt with by infringement notice and set the fine for each listed offence in penalty units (see Reg 4 and Schedule 1). Penalties differ for individuals, bodies corporate and, in a few cases, agencies. This affects people and organisations named in Schedule 1 by substituting fixed fines for court prosecution under section 169 of the Act, changing who pays and the compliance incentives for breaching the Act.
