30E: Responsibility for management of EM bail

You could also call this:

"Who is in charge of managing EM bail?"

Illustration for Bail Act 2000

You need to know who is in charge of managing EM bail. The Minister of Justice decides who is responsible, and they talk to the Minister of Police and the Minister of Corrections about it. They can choose the Commissioner of Police or the chief executive of the Department of Corrections, or both. You should know that the person or people chosen are in charge of managing EM bail. They can also allow their employees to be EM assessors. This means they can make decisions about EM bail. The Minister of Justice can make these decisions at any time, and they can change their mind if they want to. They just need to write a notice to the person or people involved, and talk to the Minister of Police and the Minister of Corrections about it.
