About this bill
Justice Committee examines proposal on recording simplified penal orders
Four MPs—Bent-Joacim Bentzen, Kjersti Toppe, Erling Sande, and Maren Grøthe—proposed that simplified penal orders issued for minor drug offences be recorded in the reactions register and appear on police certificates. The committee majority (Labour Party, Conservative Party, and Green Party) recommends rejecting the proposal, arguing that current practice already protects the relevant legal interests. A minority from the Progress Party, Centre Party, and Christian Democratic Party backs the proposal and has submitted two concrete amendments.
