Statute overview

About this statute

This provision says the principal Act is amended by inserting a new section immediately after section 3. This Act does not apply to the probation of a child in conflict with the law. A conviction tied to a probation order is treated as not being a conviction for most purposes, except for the proceedings where the order is made and later proceedings under the Act; this stops applying if the offender is later sentenced under the Act. This subsection says Section 17 does not apply to a Probation Committee set up under the Children’s Code Act, 2022 for the stated advisory purpose.
