This bill amends the Summary Offences Act 1981, and has as policy objectives to reduce graffiti vandalism and tagging by creating a specific offence for graffiti vandalism, limiting the sale of spraycans and giving the judges the option in sentencing of a community sentence to provide an opportunity for offenders to clean graffiti vandalism from their local community.
