Part 1: Public Protection Requirements Monetary penalties: sections 17 to 23 Section 17: Penalty notices
This section gives the Security Industry Authority the power to issue a penalty notice.
	A penalty notice requires a person to pay a specified amount to the Security Industry Authority within the specified time (no less than 28 days from the date of the notice). This is a non-compliance penalty.
	A penalty notice may be given to a person if the Security Industry Authority is satisfied that the person is contravening or has contravened a relevant requirement. The standard of proof is that the Security Industry Authority must be satisfied on the balance of probabilities.
	The relevant requirements are set out in subsection (8) and include, for example, the requirements to put in place public protection procedures at qualifying premises and events, and public protection measures at enhanced duty premises and qualifying events.
	A person cannot receive more than one penalty notice in respect of a single contravention, but a person can receive a penalty notice regardless of whether they have previously received a compliance or restriction notice.
	A person cannot be required to pay a monetary penalty in respect of a failure to comply with a compliance or restriction notice if they have already been convicted of an offence under the Act in relation to that contravention.
