                             Corrections Amendment Bill 2018

The Corrections Amendment Bill 2018 implements the Government’s commitment to legislate to
ensure that a member with policing experience is represented on the Parole Board that is
established under the Corrections Act 1997.

The Bill provides for a fourth member of the Parole Board who has experience serving as a police
officer in Tasmania, or in another State or Territory. The new member must not be a currently
serving police officer.

The Bill also provides that questions of the Board are to be decided by a majority of votes. If in
making a decision there are an even number of votes, the member presiding will have the casting
vote.
