The Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act 2022 (Consequential Provision) (No. 2) (England and Wales) Regulations 2022
These Regulations make provision that is consequential on section 168 of the Police, Crime, Sentencing and Courts Act 2022 (c. 32). Section 168 amends section 87 of the Sexual Offences Act 2003 (c. 42) (“the 2003 Act”) to change the procedural requirements for designating police stations where sex offenders are required to notify. The amended procedure no longer requires the Secretary of State to make regulations prescribing police stations where sex offenders may notify. Instead, the chief officer of police for each police area is required to publish a document containing details of each police station where a sex offender may give the notification under section 83(1), 84(1) or 85(1) of the 2003 Act.
