This item of legislation is currently only available in its original format. EXPLANATORY NOTE (This note is not part of the Order) Article 4(b) of the Compulsory Electronic Monitoring Licence Condition Order 2021 (S.I. 2021/330) defines the end point of the specified period for which an electronic monitoring condition must be included, as the earliest point at which one of three conditions is met. This Order amends sub- paragraph (ii) so that the specified period will end when probation supervision ends following an offender’s release on licence rather than at the end of the offender's sentence. As a result, offenders whose supervision ends before their sentence expires will no longer be subject to an electronic monitoring condition after supervision has ceased. A full impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as no, or no significant, impact on private, voluntary or public sectors is foreseen. 2
