Effect of declaration generally
22B Effect of declaration generally
A public interest declaration has effect for the detained person—
on and from the day it takes effect under section 22A; and
until a relevant event happens for the person.
While a public interest declaration has effect for the detained person—
DPSOA does not apply to the person; and
the person must no longer be detained, or subject to supervised release, under DPSOA; and
this part operates in relation to the person despite any other Act; and
the person must be detained in an institution; and
the person is a prisoner for the purposes of the Corrective Services Act 2006 other than the following provisions of that Act—
chapter 2, part 2, division 11;
chapter 5.
Note—See division 5 for what happens when a public interest declaration ends or does not apply to a person.
However, the person may be detained in a watch-house until the person can be conveniently taken to an institution.
If the person is not being detained in an institution or watch-house under DPSOA when the public interest declaration is made, the person may be arrested without warrant by a police officer and taken to an institution or watch-house for detention under this section.
