Schedules Schedule 2: Sentencing Consolidation: Pre-Consolidation Amendments Category (g): commencement of future orders
The final category of pre-consolidation amendments are those in category (g): amendments necessary to provide for the clean sweep policy in relation to future amendments to the law.
	As referred to above, the principal effects of the clean sweep are given effect by section 1 (and the exceptions in Schedule 1). There are some specific cases where amendments are necessary to achieve the desired result (such as with powers to re-sentence discussed above). A distinct category of these are the series of amendments necessary to existing order-making powers to amend the law, to provide that any such amendments may have effect for any conviction occurring on or after the change is commenced, regardless of when the offence is committed. These amendments are intended to provide that as the law is amended after the clean sweep it will remain a single body of law. Section 1 does not affect these powers as it only operates on existing transitional provisions, not those that may come into force in the future.
	For example, some of the amendments alter the Secretary of State’s power to amend the maximum fine or maximum period for which the requirement can be imposed, so that the change to the maximum can apply to any offender convicted after the change comes into force, not only for any offender whose offence was committed after that time.
	As with the clean sweep itself, these amendments have only been made where they will not have the effect of increasing the maximum penalty available for the offence, or of exposing an offender to a minimum penalty that did not exist at the time of their offence. The relevant amendments can be found at paragraphs 19(2), 21, 32(2), 52(3), 91, 94, 96, 100(7), 102(7), 106(4), 110(15), 111(6) and (19), 112(12) and 132.
