Clause 1 provides the short title and commencement of the legislation. Clause 2 amends section 2 of the principal Act, among other things, to provide a definition of the words \u201cfinancial year\u201d. Clause 3 amends section 3 of the principal Act to designate the Commission as a law enforcement agency in the Cayman Islands. The amendment is required in order to clarify the Commission\u2019s role, since some overseas law enforcement agencies have raised a question as to the official status of the Commission as a law enforcement agency. Clause 4 amends section 3A of the principal Act to enable the manager of the Commission\u2019s staff to delegate, to a senior investigating officer, the duty of accepting and acknowledging complaints made to the Commission. The manager would still be able to perform this duty if desired, but delegation of the duty would ensure that evidence is dealt with by someone who is trained to deal with investigations. Clause 5 amends the principal Act to insert a proposed new section 3DA. The proposed new section stipulates that an investigating officer may search an arrested person, in any case where the person to be searched has been arrested at a place other than a police station, if the investigating officer has reasonable grounds to believe that the arrested person may present a danger to himself, herself or others. The section also confers on an investigating officer power to search the arrested person and to enter and search, without a warrant, any premises in which the arrested person was when arrested, to the extent and for the purposes set out in the section. Clause 6 amends section 4 of the principal Act to make it clear that the Commission is not legally bound to investigate every report that it receives. The amended section specifies the circumstances in which the Commission is required to investigate a report, including where the Commission has reason to suspect the commission of an offence under the principal Act or an attempt to commit an offence under the principal Act. Clause 7 repeals section 17 of the principal Act and substitutes a new section 17 which reclassifies the offence of abuse of office as an indictable offence and increases the penalty attached to the offence. Objects and Reasons Anti-Corruption (Amendment) Bill, 2022 Introduced Clause 8 amends section 20 of the principal Act to make it mandatory for a person to whom a loan, reward, advantage or other benefit is offered in contravention of the principal Act to report this to the Commission \u201cat the earliest opportunity thereafter\u201d. Clause 9 repeals subsection (4) of section 22 of the principal Act. That subsection empowered the Commission to issue guidelines not later than six months after the date of the commencement of the principal Act. Since that period has now expired, subsection (4) is repealed. Clause 10 amends the principal Act to insert a proposed new section 25A. The proposed new section makes it clear that a senior investigating officer has power to obtain communications data from service providers for the prevention or detection of crime or for the purposes of criminal proceedings. Clause 11 amends section 28 of the principal Act to provide that the responsibility of declining to investigate a report and the responsibility of declining to proceed further with an investigation, rest with the Commission rather than with the investigating officer. Clause 12 amends section 30(9) of the principal Act to correct an internal cross-referencing error. The clause also amends section 30(11) of the principal Act in order to tidy up the wording of the penalty for making a disclosure which is likely to prejudice an investigation. Clause 13 amends the principal Act to insert a proposed new section 31A. The proposed new section 31A prescribes offences relating to making a disclosure which is likely to prejudice an investigation for which a warrant was issued under section 31. Clause 14 amends a heading in Part VI of the principal Act in order to update a reference to the year of Revision of a particular Act. Clause 15 amends section 35 of the principal Act to provide that, when applying the Proceeds of Crime Act (2020 Revision) in a trial for an offence under the Anti-Corruption Act (2019 Revision), references to an \u201cappropriate officer\u201d or \u201csenior appropriate officer\u201d under the Proceeds of Crime Act (2020 Revision) shall be construed as including an investigating officer or senior investigating officer appointed under the Anti-Corruption Act (2019 Revision).
