80N Imposition of post-detention conditions on offender (1) A court that sentences an offender to a term of home detention of 6 months or less may impose the standard post-detention conditions and any special post-detention conditions on the offender and, if it does so, must specify when the conditions expire. (2) If a court sentences an offender to a term of home detention of more than 6 months,— (a) the standard post-detention conditions apply to the offender for a period of 12 months from the detention end date, unless the court specifies otherwise; and sections 80Q , 80R , and 80U apply as if the standard conditions had been imposed by order of the court; and (b) the court may, at the same time, impose any special post-detention conditions on the offender and, if it does so, must specify when the conditions expire. (3) The court may specify that post-detention conditions imposed under this section expire on a date that is a specified period of at least 6 months, but no more than 12 months, from the detention end date. (4) If the court imposes special post-detention conditions on the offender, the special post-detention conditions may apply for as long as, but not longer than, the standard post-detention conditions that apply to the offender. (5) If the court sentences the offender to more than 1 sentence of home detention on the same occasion,— (a) only 1 order under this section may be made; and (b) that order applies in respect of all the sentences of home detention imposed on that occasion.
