# The Penalties for Disorderly Behaviour (Amount of Penalty) (Amendment) Order 2009, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Order)
This Order specifies the amounts that may be levied under sections 2 and 3 of the Criminal Justice and Police Act 2001 in respect of penalty offences to which Chapter 1 of Part 1 of that Act applies. There are two levels of penalty and different amounts are specified for persons under 16. The substituted Schedule to the Penalties for Disorderly Behaviour (Amount of Penalty) Order 2002 (S.I. 2002/1837) sets out afresh the same penalties for existing penalty offences and inserts a penalty of £80 for the penalty offence of possession of cannabis etc. It also revokes the Penalties for Disorderly Behaviour (Amount of Penalty) (Amendment) Order 2008 (S.I. 2008/3297) which was made in anticipation of the addition of further penalty offences which have not yet been added.
