HB454 raises the monthly supervision fee for parolees and probationers, keeps payment timing, and creates a dedicated fund to support supervision and rehabilitation.
Parolees and probationers with income must contribute a monthly amount (listed as $30, $50, or $40 per month) toward supervision and rehabilitation, with payments due by the fifth day of each month. Employers may deduct the amount from wages if agreed. The bill creates a Probationer Upkeep Fund to receive these dollars for the Board of Pardons and Paroles, and the contribution is tax-exempt with hardship exemptions allowed. If payments fall behind by more than two months, it can be used as grounds for revoking parole or probation; after December 31, 2015, the monthly amount is reduced from $40 to $30.
