Title

Pardons and Paroles Board, supervision fee, scheduled reduction, repealed, Sec. 15-22-2 am'd.

Summary

HB284 would keep the parole/probation supervision fee at $40 per month, stopping the planned reduction to $30 after 2015.

What This Bill Does

The bill repeals the scheduled reduction in the monthly supervision fee from $40 to $30 that was set to take effect after December 31, 2015. As a result, people on parole or probation with income would continue paying $40 per month, starting 30 days after they have income, with payments potentially deducted from wages by an employer. The funds still go to the General Fund, and exemptions for undue hardship remain possible; the bill also maintains the Probationer's Upkeep Fund and makes the act effective immediately upon governor approval.

Who It Affects

• Parolees and probationers who have income and are under supervision, who would continue to pay $40 per month
• Employers who withhold or receive deduction of $40 per month from an employee's net income and remit it to the Board

Key Provisions

• Repeals the scheduled reduction in the monthly supervision fee from $40 to $30 after December 31, 2015, keeping it at $40 going forward
• Maintains the payment methods (deduction from income or employer withholding) and requires funds to be deposited in the General Fund of the State Treasury; exemptions for undue hardship remain available via the sentencing court or the Board
• Preserves the Probationer's Upkeep Fund and states the act becomes effective immediately following passage and Governor's approval
