Section 30 amends the provisions of the 2003 Act which relate to further release after recall.
	Subsection (2) replaces existing section 255A to set out how the Secretary of State is to deal with an offender following revocation of their licence and recall to prison to determine whether they can be re-released automatically.
	New sections 255A(3) to (6) apply to relevant young offenders (those serving one or more sentences imposed under section 250 of the Sentencing Code or section 91 of the PCC(S)A 2000). The provisions of existing section 255A are retained, meaning that a relevant young offender must be re-released automatically if they are 18 or over, serving a sentence of less than 12 months, not recalled on account of being charged with a serious offence (murder or an offence under Schedule 18 Sentencing Code), and not managed under level 2 or 3 MAPPA. A relevant young offender may also be re-released automatically if they will not pose a risk of serious harm to the public. If suitable for automatic release, they must be dealt with under section 255B, and if not suitable, under section 255C.
	New sections 255A(7) to (9) apply to offenders who are not relevant young offenders. These offenders will be eligible for automatic release unless they fall into one of the exceptions in section 255A(8), or the Secretary of State has determined they should not be automatically released pursuant to section 255BA(5). If eligible for automatic release, they must be dealt with under section 255BA, and if not eligible, under section 255C.
	New sections 255A(10) and (11) insert a power for the Secretary of State to amend the list of exceptions to automatic release in section 255A(8).
	Subsection (3) amends section 330(5)(a) of the 2003 Act to provide that the order to amend section 255A(8) must be made by affirmative procedure.
	Subsection (4) inserts Schedule 19ZB into the 2003 Act, which contains a schedule of lower-level terrorism and national security offences where the offender is not eligible for automatic release (pursuant to section 255A(8)(d)).
	Subsection (5) is a consequential amendment to remove Schedule 19AA.
