Explanatory note

(This note is not part of the Regulations)

These Regulations commence the whole of the Approved Premises (Substance Testing) Act 2022.

The Approved Premises (Substance Testing) Act 2022 inserts a new section 13A (approved premises: substance testing) into the Offender Management Act 2007 (c. 21) to set out powers to substance and prevalence test residents of approved premises. Under these powers, residents can be required to provide a sample, which will be used to ascertain whether a resident has controlled drugs, prescription medicine, medicinal products, or psychoactive substances in their system.
