                   BILL 2009

·    This Bill will put in place legislation based on that developed by the
    Corrective Services Administrator's Council to facilitate the movement of
    offenders subject to community based sentences between jurisdictions.

    medium end of the offending spectrum.

    their subsequent reintegration into the community.

    suitability. This will ensure that the best interests of both the offender and
    the community are considered.
