# The Penalties for Disorderly Behaviour (Form of Penalty Notice) (Amendment) Regulations 2004, Note: Explanatory note


(This note is not part of the Regulations)
These Regulations amend the Penalties for Disorderly Behaviour (Form of Penalty) Notice Regulations 2002 (S.I. 2002/1838) to prescribe the form of penalty notice that must be issued by a constable in dealing with a penalty offence committed by a person who was aged under 16 at the time he committed the offence giving rise to the penalty notice. The minimum age at which a penalty notice for disorderly behaviour can be given under Chapter 1 of Part 1 of the Criminal Justice and Police Act 2001 is changed from 16 to 10 by the Penalties for Disorderly Behaviour (Amendment of Minimum Age) Order 2004 (S.I. 2004/3166).
