# The Fines (Deductions from Income Support)(Amendment) Regulations 2004, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These regulations amend the Fines (Deductions from Income Support) Regulations 1992 (S.I. 1992/2182) (“the principal Regulations”).
Regulation 2 amends the principal regulations to allow the Court to require an offender to provide details as to his address, name, national insurance number and the name of the benefits to which the offender is in receipt, in order to process an application for benefit deductions. Section 24(2A) of the Criminal Justice Act 1991 (c. 53) makes it an offence where an offender fails to provide this information. Section 24A was inserted by section 96 of the Courts Act 2003 (c. 39).
Regulation 2 also amends the principal Regulations to increase the maximum amount that may be deducted from benefits to £5 where this complies with the provisions relating to maximum deductions set out in the principal Regulations.
A full regulatory impact assessment has not been produced for this instrument as it has no impact on the costs of business.
