The Criminal Justice Act 2003 (Alcohol Abstinence and Monitoring Requirement) (Prescription of Arrangement for Monitoring) Order 2017
Section 212A of the Criminal Justice Act 2003 (c. 44) enables a court to impose an alcohol abstinence and monitoring requirement as part of a community order or suspended sentence order. That provision has been brought into force for the purposes of a pilot in three local justice areas; Humber, Lincolnshire and North Yorkshire (see S.I. 2017/525). This Order prescribes that the arrangement for the monitoring of an alcohol abstinence and monitoring requirement for the purposes of that pilot will be by means of transdermal electronic tag. This is a tag which measures the level of alcohol contained in a person’s sweat.
