1 AN BILLE UM CHEARTAS COIRIÚIL (CIONTUITHE SPÍONTA), 2012 CRIMINAL JUSTICE (SPENT CONVICTIONS) BILL 2012 EXPLANATORY AND FINANCIAL MEMORANDUM Main Purpose of the Bill The main purpose of the Bill is to assist the rehabilitation of offenders, who often experience difficulties securing employment as a result of having a conviction. The Bill will bring Ireland into line with the majority of EU Member States in providing a regime under which certain convictions can be disregarded after a number of years have elapsed since they were imposed. The Bill has general application and subject to certain exceptions, operates whenever a person is asked about their criminal record. There are a number of safeguards in the Bill relating, for example, to the types of conviction and the nature of employment covered. The Bill builds on the proposals contained in the Law Reform Commission Report on Spent Convictions which was published in 2007 and on the Spent Convictions Bill 2007 which lapsed on the dissolution of the last Dáil in The main features of the Bill are: The Bill applies to adults. Provision is already made for a spent convictions regime for juvenile offenders under section 258 of the Children Act 2001; It is self administered it is for the person with the conviction to decide if it is spent or not under the terms of the Bill. It is not an application-based system; Convictions in respect of sexual offences and offences that fall to be tried by the Central Criminal Court are excluded from the benefits of the Bill; Most sentences passed down by Irish Courts will qualify to become spent, provided certain conditions are met. Sentences of more than 1 year s imprisonment are excluded; No more than 2 convictions may become spent; 1
2 The conviction-free periods that must be served before a conviction will become spent range from 3 years for a small fine to 7 years for a 12 month prison sentence; Anyone seeking to work with or provide services (care and accommodation) to children (under 18) or vulnerable adults will have to declare their convictions; A range of employments, including those relating to the security of the State, the administration of justice and other sensitive positions, are excluded; Convictions will have to be disclosed when applying for certain licences (taxis, private security, etc); Provisions of the Bill Section 1 defines terms used in the Bill. Among the terms defined are effective date of conviction and excluded sentence. The effective date of conviction for the purposes of the Bill is, in the majority of cases, the date on which the sentence becomes operative. In the case of a community service order, it is the date on which the order is revoked. Excluded sentence is: A sentence of imprisonment of more than 12 months, regardless as to whether the sentence is suspended or not; A sentence imposed for an offence reserved to be tried by the Central Criminal Court; or A sentence imposed for a sexual offence. Relevant custodial and non-custodial sentences are also defined. Relevant custodial sentences are sentences of 12 months or less, and include consecutive and concurrent sentences, where the total sentence or the longer or longest sentence amounts to 12 months or less. It also includes sentences that are suspended in part and wholly suspended sentences that are subsequently revoked in whole or in part, and replaced with a custodial sentence of 12 months or less. Relevant period is defined as the number of years a person must remain conviction-free, in order for their conviction to become spent under the Bill. There is one exception which is dealt with in section 4. The various relevant periods applying to the sentences covered by the Bill are set out in Schedule 2. Relevant non custodial sentences include: Suspended sentences, where the suspension is not revoked; Fines; Probation Orders; Community Service Orders; Restriction on Movement Orders. Section 2 provides that subject to certain conditions, a conviction (whether handed down before or after the commencement of this section) will become spent at the end of the relevant (convictionfree) period. The conditions are set out in subsection 2: 2
3 The person is over 18 when the offence was committed; The sentence is not an excluded sentence (as defined); The person has complied with any conditions associated with the conviction (e.g. he/she has paid the fine or complied with the terms of the community service order); The person is not convicted again during the relevant period (e.g. a sentence of 6 months imprisonment has a relevant period of 5 years. That conviction, subject to one exception that is dealt with in section 4, will only become spent at the end of 5 years, if the person has not been convicted again during that period); A person can only have 2 spent convictions. Under subsection (3), where a person has more than 2 qualifying convictions, the first two in order are the ones that can be deemed spent. Section 3 deals with relevant periods and refers to Schedule 2, Part 1 of which deals with custodial sentences and Part 2 with noncustodial sentences. Section 4 deals with an exception to the rule that the relevant period must be conviction-free in order for the conviction to become spent. Where another qualifying conviction is imposed on a person during the relevant period for a qualifying conviction, the relevant period for the first conviction will end at the expiry of the relevant period of the first or other conviction, whichever is the later. Examples 1 and 2 in the Appendix refer. The imposition of a third conviction during the relevant period for the first and second will mean that neither the first nor second conviction can become spent. It is important to note that if the second conviction was nonqualifying (i.e. related to an excluded sentence); the first conviction could not become spent. Example 3 in the Appendix refers. Section 5 deals with the general effect of a spent conviction other than in court proceedings. Essentially, where a question regarding a conviction is put to a person, he or she may treat it as not applying to his or her spent conviction and answer accordingly and he or she will not incur any liability for so doing. Section 6 deals with court proceedings and provides that no evidence of a spent conviction is admissible in court, and that no question can be asked about a spent conviction and if asked, need not be answered. However, subsection 2 provides that a court may admit or require evidence regarding a spent conviction, if justice demands it, but the court will take such steps as are necessary to prevent or restrict publication of that evidence. Subsection 3 lists a number of areas where the Bill cannot affect the determination of issues or prevent the admission or requirement of information or evidence relating to a spent conviction. These are: in criminal proceedings before a court, including, any appeal or other application relating to those proceedings where the person is a party to the proceedings; in proceedings relating to adoption, guardianship, custody, 3
4 care or control of, or access to a minor, including proceedings under the Child Care Acts ; in proceedings relating to the provision of accommodation, care, training or education for a child or vulnerable adult; in proceedings relating to the appointment of a care representative under section 21 of the Nursing Homes Supports Scheme Act 2009; where the person is a party or a witness in the proceedings and consents to the disclosure. Section 7 provides that the non-disclosure provisions of section 5 do not apply: to a person convicted of fraud, deception or dishonesty in relation to an insurance or assurance policy, where that person is seeking or is a party to a policy of insurance or assurance; where a person is asked to disclose past convictions, including spent convictions: in an interview of the person conducted by a member of An Garda Síochána, after his or her arrest; in respect of an application or investigation under Part 3 of the Central Bank Reform Act 2010; in matters relating to fostering and adoption. Subsection (2) provides that the Bill does not affect any proceedings relating to a fine or breach of a condition in relation to a conviction that would be regarded as spent under the legislation. This subsection also provides that the Bill does not affect the operation of other legislation that imposes any disqualification, restriction, prohibition or penalty that extends beyond the relevant period under the Bill. Subsection 3 asserts a person s right to disclose his or her own spent convictions. Section 8 provides that the legislation does not have any effect in relation to requests for information from another state, made in accordance with the laws of that state. Section 9 states that the non-disclosure provisions of section 5 do not apply in respect of a relevant employment. Relevant employments are listed at Schedule 3 to the Bill. In addition to the employments listed in Schedule 3, the Minister, may at the request of the Public Appointments Service and with the consent of the Minister for Public Expenditure and Reform, and having consulted with any other relevant Minister, make orders exempting certain other positions in the civil and public service. Section 10 provides that anyone applying for or renewing a range of licences, permits or other authorisations, must continue to disclose all previous convictions, including spent convictions. The licences, etc. concerned are: haulage and public service vehicle licences; driving instructor licences; 4
5 taxi licences; private security licences; firearms certificates; licences, etc. issued by the Central Bank of Ireland; registration and operation of a mental health centre; registration and operation of a designated care centre under Part 8 of the Health Act Section 11 provides that where a person requests their own criminal record, An Garda Síochána will provide the record of spent convictions separately. Section 12 is a standard provision regarding expenses incurred in the administration of the Bill. Section 13 deals with the application of the Bill and the transitional arrangements that will apply. The Bill applies to answers given on or after the commencement of the Bill in response to requests for information received before the commencement of the Bill in relation to convictions that are regarded as spent under the Bill. Section 14 provides for the short title of the Bill and its commencement. Schedule 1 sets out the sexual offences that are excluded offences under the Bill. Schedule 2 Part 1 sets out the position regarding qualifying custodial sentences. Schedule 2 Part 2 sets out the position regarding qualifying noncustodial sentences. Schedule 3 lists the relevant employments for the purposes of the Act. Part 1 deals with employment relating to children. Part 2 deals with employment in relation to vulnerable adults. Part 3 deals with other employment. All convictions, including spent convictions, must be disclosed where a person is required to do so by an employer in respect of an employment covered by Schedule 3. Financial implications It is not expected that the measures contained in the Bill will result in any significant costs to the Exchequer. An Roinn Dlí agus Cirt agus Comhionannais, Bealtaine,
6 Further Conviction during Relevant Period Examples referred to in Section 4 APPENDIX Example 1 A was convicted and sentenced to 1 year in prison on 1 January On 1 July 2004, he was convicted for a second time and sentenced to 6 months in prison, suspended for 1 year. A s suspended sentence was not subsequently revoked. The relevant period for the first sentence is 7 years and in the normal course, A s sentence will become spent on 1 January A s second sentence has a relevant period of 3 years and but for his first sentence, it would have become spent on 1 July The rule in section 4 states that where someone is convicted and receives a qualifying sentence during the relevant period for a first conviction, both convictions will become spent at the expiry of the relevant period for the first or subsequent offence, whichever is the later. In this case, the relevant period for the first conviction, expires later than the relevant period for the second conviction, and therefore both convictions will become spent on 1 January Example 2 B was convicted and sentenced to 6 months in prison on 1 January On 1 January 2009 she is convicted for a second time and sentenced to 9 months in prison. The relevant period for the first sentence is 5 years. If B hadn t been further convicted, her first sentence would become spent on 1 January However, B s second sentence has a relevant period of 6 years which will not expire until 1 January Applying the rule in section 4, the convictions will become spent at the same time, on 1 January 2015 (i.e. the later of the two dates). Example 3 C was convicted on 1 January 2009 and fined 400. He was convicted again on 1 July 2011 and sentenced to 18 months in prison. C s first sentence is a qualifying sentence, which will become spent after 3 years on 1 January His second sentence is excluded under the terms of the Bill. As he was convicted during the relevant period for the first conviction, neither conviction can become spent. In this case, if C s second sentence had been handed down after the expiry of the relevant period for the first sentence, then the first sentence would have become spent on 1 January As an excluded sentence, the second sentence can never become spent.
