Behaviour change program for interstate offences
58F Behaviour change program for interstate offences
This section applies to a person to whom section 31KB applies.
Note
Section 31KB applies to a person who holds a licence or permit issued in another State or a Territory that is subject to an alcohol interlock condition or who was, but is no longer, prevented under section 23A or disqualified under section 25(3) from obtaining a driver licence or learner permit because the person was disqualified from driving or obtaining a driver licence or learner permit in that other State or Territory as a result of a corresponding interstate drink-driving offence.
S. 58F(2) amended by No. 49/2019 s. 116(Sch. 1 item 138(a)).
The Secretary must require the person to complete a first-stage behaviour change program specified in the notice under section 58E or contained in the information given to the person under subsection (4)—
before a driver licence or learner permit is issued to the person; or
within the period specified in the notice or contained in the information.
Note to s. 58F(2) amended by No. 49/2019 s. 116(Sch. 1 item 138(b)).
Note
Under section 31KB, a driver licence or learner permit granted by the Secretary to a person to whom that section applies must be made subject to an alcohol interlock condition. Before the alcohol interlock condition is removed, the person may be required to complete a second-stage behaviour change program—see section 58D.
Subsection (2) does not apply if, under the regulations, the person is not required to complete a first-stage behaviour change program.
S. 58F(4) amended by No. 49/2019 s. 116(Sch. 1 item 138(a)).
If it is not practicable to give notice to the person in accordance with section 58E, the Secretary must ensure that the person is given the information referred to in section 58E(2) in writing when the person applies for a driver licence or learner permit.
For the purposes of this Act, any information given to a person under subsection (4) is taken to have been given by notice under section 58E.
