  "short_title": "Sexual Offences Act 2003 (Travel Notification Requirements) 2004",
  "long_title": "These Regulations extend to Scotland. Separate Regulations extend to England, Wales and Northern Ireland. Part 2 of the Sexual Offences Act 2003 (“the Act”) re-enacts with modifications Part I of the Sex Offenders Act 1997 (the “1997 Act”) and specifies that relevant offenders are required to notify their personal details to the police. Section 86 of the Act provides for such offenders to notify the police of their intention to travel abroad and of their return. These Regulations make provision for this notification and replace the equivalent Regulations under the 1997 Act (the Sex Offenders (Notice Requirements) (Foreign Travel) (Scotland) Regulations 2001) except that the 2001 Regulations continue to apply to existing offenders as specified in regulation 3. In addition, the Regulations do not apply to persons who would be unable to meet the requirements of the new Regulations because they are departing on or before 9th May (regulation 3).",
