This Order brings into force section 76 of the Legal Aid, Sentencing and Punishment of Offenders Act 2012 (c. 10) from 1st May 2017 until the end of 30th April 2019, in the three local justice areas specified in article 3. Section 76 inserts section 212A of the Criminal Justice Act 2003 (c. 44), which gives a court a power to impose an alcohol abstinence and monitoring requirement as part of a community order or suspended sentence order. Article 4(2) provides that any requirement imposed before the end of 30th April 2019 (when section 76 ceases to be in force) may continue to have effect after that time.
