General Schedule 1: Civil Sanctions Part 6: General and supplemental
Paragraph 19 provides that the Secretary of State cannot serve a monetary penalty on a person for an action or omission if that person has already been served a stop notice in relation to the same action or omission. It also states that a stop notice cannot be served on a person for an act or omission if a monetary penalty has already been imposed on that person for the same act or omission or if the person’s liability for that monetary penalty has been discharged as outlined in paragraph 2(2).
	Paragraph 20 sets out how an unincorporated association must pay any payment required under Schedule 1.
	Paragraph 21 confers a responsibility on the Secretary of State to publish guidance which will provide details on which sanctions will be applied to a person committing a relevant offence, as defined in section 14(4), in what circumstances and what actions will be taken in relation to the person. The Secretary of State must consult the Welsh Ministers, the Scottish Ministers and the Northern Ireland department and any other persons the Secretary of State considers appropriate, before publishing the guidance (or revised guidance). The Secretary of State must apply this guidance when exercising their functions under Schedule 1. Such guidance must also provide details under each of the sanctions provided for under Schedule 1 as stated in sub-paragraphs (2)-(5). Sub-paragraph (6) confers a responsibility on the Secretary of State to revise guidance where appropriate and to publish revised guidance. All guidance and revised guidance under this paragraph must be subject to consultation of persons the Secretary of State considers appropriate.
	Paragraph 22 ensures that any consultation undertaken prior to commencement of the Act, which would have satisfied the requirements of paragraph 21, can be considered when meeting the consultation requirements under paragraph 21.
	Paragraph 24 confers a responsibility on the Secretary of State to publish reports on the use of civil sanctions as provided for under Schedule 1. The paragraph makes clear what information a report must include and when it may be appropriate for not including information.
