Part 7: Sentencing and release Chapter 1: Custodial sentences Section 152: Removal of attendance centre requirements for adults
Section 152 has the effect of removing the attendance centre requirement from the list of requirements that a court can impose on an offer as part of a community order or suspended sentence order. It does so by amending sections 207 and 291 of, and Schedule 9 to, the Code.
	Subsection (2) amends section 207(3) of the Code to specify that an attendance centre requirement is only available as a requirement of a community order if the offender was convicted of an offence before this section comes into force, and if the offender was under 25 years old when convicted of the offence.
	Subsection (3) amends section 291(3) of the Code to specify that an attendance centre requirement is only available as a requirement of a suspended sentence order if the offender was convicted of an offence before this section comes into force, and if the offender was under 25 years old when convicted of the offence.
	Subsection (4) amends Schedule 9 to the Code, in relation to community orders and suspended sentence order requirements. It amends the heading to Part 13 (the section of the Code covering attendance centre requirements) to make clear they are not available to courts as a requirement if an offender has been convicted after this section comes into force.
	Subsection (5) introduces Schedule 13 to the Act which outlines related amendments to the Code and other relevant Acts.
