(a) The Fines, Penalties and Infringement Notices Enforcement Amendment Regulations 2022 (WA) (FPINE Amendment Regulations) support the operation of the Ticket Scalping Act 2021 (WA) (TS Act), which received Royal Assent on 9 September 2021. The TS Act together with the Ticket Scalping Regulations 2022 (WA), prescribe a range of new offences and modified penalties for which infringement notices may be issued under the Criminal Procedure Act 2004 (WA). The former Minister for Commerce requested the TS Act be prescribed under the Fines, Penalties and Infringement Notices Enforcement Regulations 1994 (WA) for the purpose of enabling enforcement of infringement notices in accordance with the Fines, Penalties and Infringement Notices Enforcement Act 1994 (WA).
(b) The amendment to the FPINE Regulations is administrative in nature and as such no formal external consultation was undertaken outside of the Department of Justice and the Department of Mines, Industry Regulation and Safety.
(c) No.
(d) - (f) N/A.
