114  Effect of registration

Effect
 (1) Subject to this section, a registered fine:
 (a) has the same force and effect; and
 (b) may give rise to the same actions by way of enforcement;
as if the fine had been imposed on the offender by a court of the registering State.

Enforcement only by registering State
 (2) A registered fine cannot be enforced in the originating State for the fine.
Note: This subsection does not prevent voluntary payment of the fine in the originating State—see sections 115 and 116.

Fine capable of enforcement
 (3) A registered fine is capable of being enforced in or by the registering State only if, and to the extent that, when the action for enforcement is or is to be taken, the fine could, but for subsection (2), be enforced in the originating State.

No imprisonment
 (4) Despite anything in the laws of the registering State, a registered fine cannot be enforced by the imposition of a sentence of imprisonment on the offender.
